"Great" Moments in Marvel history lives up to its name as it spotlights some of Marvel's goofier moments, including the Hulk dressed as a clown and juggling animals at a circus (Avengers #1), Daredevil putting on some serious weight (Foggy Nelson dressing as DD in Daredevil #18), and Spidey doing his laundry at the local laundromat while wearing a paper bag over his head in Amazing Spider-Man #82.
On a more sombre note, this issue commemorates the untimely and unexpected passing of Carol Kalish, whose impact on the comics industry cannot be overstated, and who was a friend of mine.
