Last consecutive issue dialogued/scripted by Stan Lee. Going out with a bang, Stan gives Spidey six arms and leaves it up to Roy Thomas to deal with the extra appendages as best he can. Although Stan soon returned to script a handful of mostly undistinguished issues, this ish marks the climax of his unbroken run on The Amazing Spider-Man. If one considers the Lee-Ditko-Romita-Kane Spider-Man saga as a cohesive storyline, unified by a single narrative voice, this ish marks the final chapter (with the Thomas-scripted conclusion serving as a sort of coda signaling the shape of things to come in the post-Lee era).
