Very big annual, but I like it. There's a big 41 page sinister six story, which wasn't perfect, but it's still cool. Also I liked the gallery of most famous Spider-Man's foes, but the title is a crap... It is literally all of the spider-man's foes, not most famous. Guys, they even made a page for the burglar, that killed uncle Ben...
And if the showcase of all spidey's powers was boring, but useful, then "Supporting Cast Pin-Ups" were boring and pointless.
But the final story about the creation of Spider-Man was funny. Maybe even hilarious...
To conclude, it isn't a masterpiece, but this comic was the greatest spider-man book at that time. Every fan must check it out.
