Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #166 Newsstand – Spider-Man vs. Dinosaurs!
Amazing Spider-Man #166 (March 1977), written by Len Wein with pencils by Ross Andru and inks by Mike Esposito, is a wild Bronze Age spectacle. Spider-Man faces two reptilian foes, Stegron the Dinosaur Man and the Lizard, in a chaotic New York City showdown. Stegron wields a “revitalization ray,” reanimating skeletal dinosaurs into living, rampaging beasts. Spidey battles these prehistoric threats on city streets, juggling the villains’ schemes and his own survival. The newsstand edition, marked by its UPC barcode, enhances its collectible appeal due to lower distribution compared to direct market copies.
