Untold Tales of Spiderman/ASM reading order

Post by ctowner1 »

So I recently obtained a complete run of Kurt Busiek's Untold Tales of Spiderman and given that the stories take place between issues of ASM, thought it would be a good time to do a re-read of the Lee/Ditko ASM's. I saw that the later issues UToS issues have a timeline for how to read it in conjunction w/ASM, but didn't see one for the earlier issues, so I googled a little and found 2 suggested orders (not sure how these tie in w/the ones in the books, but..). So I condensed each of them (eliminating non-ASM/UToS issues, too), and figured I'd share in case anyone else was thinking of reading these:

The less detailed one:
