Episode #79 Mark Ginocchio / Four Issues Away


This week’s episode is all about Spider-Man as we talk to Mark Ginocchio, the man behind the Chasing Amazing blog and Comics Should Be Good’s Gimmick or Good? column. Mark is only four issues away from owning every single issue of Amazing Spider-Man, so we pick his brain about collecting, Spider-Man in the ‘90s, and how he started on this crazy quest in the first place.

Follow Mark’s Amazing Chase on Twitter at @ChasingASMBlog and read his column, Gimmick or Good?, where he examines the foil-gatefold, holo-bagged comics of the '90s.

And, of course, Gwen or Mary Jane?


Next week we’ll be reading the first story arc from Criminal, “Coward” by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Find it on Amazon or Comixology.

Music: “Circular Karate Chop” by They Might Be Giants
