Happy 66th Birthday Al Milgrom!!!
Happy Birthday to that workhorse artist extraordinaire, Al Milgrom! Al is probably most well known for his utilitarian art style and having worked on virtually all of the biggest icons from Marvel Comics! His work was very prolific in the 70's, 80's, and well into the 90's.

Happy Birthday Mark Waid!!!
Mark Waid is one of those writers who you just can’t believe that he never really had an extended run on Spider-Man, as he is so perfect for the title. However, the timing just never worked out for it to happen. Still, what Spider-Man stories we HAVE gotten from him have been excellent.
One of the best parts of Waid’s stories tend to be his imaginative situations that he cooks up to throw Spider-Man into. For instance, like his great Christmas story he did for the Marvel 1996 Holiday Special…

1987’s [B][I]Spider-Man vs. Wolverine[/I][/B], by Jim Owsley (now [B]Christopher J. Priest[/B]) and Mark Bright (who drew the famous Batman-Throws-A-Car-Battery scene).
It’s one of the best-written crossovers in comics history, largely because it inverts the normal fight-then-team-up formula for super-hero meetings by — as the title implies — having no team-up at all. They just fight, and while there are some great funny bits to it, it goes to some pretty dark places.
So dark, in fact, that Spider-Man trying to pound Wolverine’s indestructible head through a tombstone in a German graveyard [B]isn’t even close to being the most intense moment of the story.[/B]
It’s a great Spider-Man story, but as far as Wolverine stories go, it’s up there with the original Claremont/Miller mini-series.
