I kept it for so long, but have not seen it in years. If anyone knows were it can be found on the net plase let me know. Thanks.

Oh my! I remember reading that one. It was the first time I ever got teary-eyed because of a comic book! It was simply powerful. “I had started collecting comics with ASM #254, and the letter column was an overflow from the previous issue. “The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man” is the backup story, and is one of the best stories Marvel has ever published.”

Make sure you have plenty of tissue. Chris,

You can find a video of Big Bird singing at Jim Henson’s funeral on YouTube. Make sure you have plenty of tissue.

It showed Kermit in top hat and tails, sitting in the alley outside the Muppet Theater, staring out directly at me, with a caption that read "I lost my voice." I'm shedding tears right now, and I read that comic nearly 18 years ago. RIP, Jim.

I had started collecting comics with ASM #254, and the letter column was an overflow from the previous issue. "The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man" is the backup story, and is one of the best stories Marvel has ever published. The story does things which can only be done in comics, and I'm misty eyed right now just thinking about it. Two others, which don't really fit here: Astro City 1/2 "The Nearness Of You" and Fantastic Four #285, "Hero". Amazing Spider-Man #248, the assistant editors month.
