The Esquire is the favorite of the owner of Hanks Belts. Whether you are wearing dress pants or jeans the Esquire will complement your outfit with a slightly more refined style that is sure to impress.
We start with the same English Bridle leather we use in our Canyon belt. The Esquire is then lined with premium leather so that you have the same quality inside and out. The 1.25” width is perfect for a sleeker look and fits the belt loops of all jeans or pants.
The inside of the belt is raised with a separate full leather strip creating a distinctive appearance. The unique construction of the Esquire belt will last for years, age well, and conform to the individual shape of your body over time.
As with all Hanks Belts, the Esquire is made by skilled craftsmen the way a belt would have been made a hundred years ago.
Vegetable-tanned leather, unlike chromium-tanned leather, uses no harsh chemicals. Mimosa powder, derived from tree bark from Africa, gives the rich finish of the leather used on these belts. The devoted process takes six weeks from rawhide to finished leather ready to be cut and sewn into a Hanks Belt. The final step is hand burnishing every hide. Though it is a labor-intensive process it results in a unique, extremely fine finish.
Vegetable-tanned leather develops a patina that improves with age. The appearance develops with wear giving each belt its own individual characteristics.
We use top-quality hardware to finish it off. Our more refined all stainless steel roller buckle provides easy buckling and unbuckling. The superior quality stainless steel buckle costs six times more than a standard plated steel buckle, which is no less than this belt deserves. Our Chicago screws hold it all together so you can easily swap buckles yet never have to worry about snaps which can become weakened and unreliable over time.
An awesome belt that fills a wide range of dress styles, The Esquire is a belt you will reach for time and time again.

An Epic tale and more...
Format: Paperback
I couldn't be happier with this book. Not only does this carry the cosmic Spidey issues that crossed over through the three Spidey books of the time, Amazing, Spectacular, and Web of Spider-Man, but also the 1990 annuals of each book, which had our hero shrunken down to the size of an insect and smaller, fighting alongside Ant-Man against would be technology thieves and then through the Microverse. We have the full annuals so there's even stories featuring Mary Jane, Aunt May, and others in the Spidey universe.
With the inclusion of the Punisher and Venom Amazing Spider-Man issues, it almost feels like three trades in one thick book of Spidey goodness. The art is fantastic also. From Sal Buscema's underrated Spectacular series, to Erik Larsen's Amazing series, and even Todd McFarlane's last Amazing Spider-Man issue where Spidey punches The Hulk so hard, he leaves him orbiting Earth!
While this book has several writers and various other artists, I still find this to be a cohesive collection well worth the price of admission.

Spidey SMASHES Hulk
Format: Paperback
This book presents nearly 500 pages of Spidey Comics from 1989-90, Collecting Amazing Spider-man 326-333 and Annual #24, Spectacular Spider-man 158-160 and Annual #10, and Web of Spider-man 59-61 and Annual #6.
The big event of this comic ties into the much larger Acts of Vengeance story arc. Several supervillains team together, realizing that they've been losing to the same people for 25-30 years. They come up with the idea of trading and going after each other's enemies, thinking that the heroes will not know how to react. (Apparently, it never occurs to them that they will also not really be able to respond to the heroes techniques.) Because Spidey at that point had three magazines a month, that met he'd be hit with three times the rivals.
But after serving the first attack of Graviton, Spidey has an accident that ramps up his powers and makes all attacks on him go very badly for the villain with one villain even getting accidentally killed in the process.
I have to admit that there was something wonderfully pleasing about Spidey knocking around the likes of Magneto and the Hulk like they were rag dolls. Seriously, the first nine issues in this book, are Spidey kicking one threat after another as he has power on par with the Silver Surfer.
We don't learn until the last issue the real reason for the power and longtime readers had to be scared that this was another alien costume, and in a way it was, but if this was like the symbiote, it was a good force that bestowed the uni-power when it was needed. The whole thing has a pretty satisfying ending.
Probably my chief complaint with this book is that the true core of the Cosmic Power ends on page 210, really, AS #329-333 have nothing to do with the Cosmic Powers story and the Annuals are very vaguely related.
AS #329 and 330 is a somewhat violent (but not overly so by today's standards) crossover with the Punisher battling drug cartels and a US government plot to smuggle drugs. The story has some serious moments but ends with one of the goofiest concepts in comics ("Cocaine Standard" 'nuff said). Issues #331-333 is solid story of Eddie Brock/Venom escaping prison and it's interesting in its own right.
There's a three part story spread across all three annuals in which Spider-man is shrinking. At first in the Amazing Spider-man Annual, it looks like it's because of inhaling Ant Man's shrinking gas but it's not that at all as we find out in the other two annuals. The story is decent enough, though Marvel's decision to make people buy all three annuals back in 1990 was somewhat chintzy, though defensible since the story runs 70 pages. For 70 pages, it was good but not great.
However, Marvel actually reprinted everything in the annuals which is a bit of a mixed bag for readers. On one hand, you get the full Annuals with all the extras. On the other, it breaks up the "Spidey's Totally Tiny Adventure Story" and you get a very mixed bag of extras. My thoughts:
"The Mercy Bomb"-A story told in part by Spider-man co-creator Steve Ditko. Seemed to have an anti-war message but didn't tie into anything and was just blah. Grade: D
"A Time to Choose/The Choice":Whatever can be said for spreading the 70 page Spider-man story across three annuals. There was really no reason to break this story of a reformed Sandman facing a tough choice when he's offered a chance to go back to the old life of crime by the Trapster and the Wizard. It's an okay story but seems a little forced. Grade: C+
"Pete and MJ's New Pad"-After the loss of their condo to an unethical real estate developer, Pete and MJ moved into a new apartment. This special feature took a look at the apartment revealing that it's an average apartment with nothing interesting in it. Grade: D
"Amazing Fantasy"- A not so Amazing dream sequence filler. Grade: F
"Pale Reflection"- Former Spider-man villain Hobie Brown goes on a job and learns that he can get beat up. Really? Grade: D-
"What I Did on My Summer Vacation"-A ten page story featuring juvenile delinquent turned crimefighter Rocket Racer, who'd appear in Spider-man: TAS. An okay but not great story. Grade: B
"Sales Day for a Shootout:" Aunt May helps the Punisher kill terrorists. Actually surprised at how positively the Punisher was portrayed in this. Grade: B+
"Eleven Angry Men and One Angry Woman:" This take on Twelve Angry men as Mary Jane as the only hold out on a jury ready to acquit a defendant who claims Spider-man was a thief. There's some humor and a little bit of poignancy. Of course, the wife of Spider-man shouldn't be on this jury but it was a fun story. Grade: A-
"Child Star"-One of the weirder stories in here involves a two year old getting the unipower that Spidey had because a couple summoned demons to help play the stock market. Grade: D
The book ends with material from the first Trade Paperback printing of the main 9 issue Cosmic story which means that you get to find out the background of the book after it's over.
In addition, there's a lot of ongoing plots in this book that were dropped into the middle of because of comic continuity. Joe Robinson is in jail and we really don't know why. Aunt May's friend Nathan is dying but we don't know when she met him or how deep their friendship is. The Black Cat begins to get, well catty, about Peter having married Mary Jane and threatens to break Flash Thompson's (now Peter's best friend) heart out of spite. However, this is just the nature of jumping into an ongoing comic book story.
That said, with all the things I've mentioned, I can't bring myself to rate this less than 4 stars. The core material is awesome and so are most of the actual Spidey stories outside of it, despite the uneven nature of the non-Spidey stories. What's particularly pleasing is seeing the Parker-Watson marriage for fans of that relationship that was abandoned with One More Day. It's not a perfect marriage, but it's clear that it's a positive in Peter's life and it's written way that's not glamorized but is appealing.
If you can take the book's hiccups, this is a good book for teenagers and adults.

Acts of Vengeance
Format: Kindle
This is one of my favorite storylines and one of my first experiences reading Spidey. Lots of silly nostalgic fun. Seriously, I really enjoyed the villain cross-overs.

A redundant, but improved, collection of Spider-Man's cosmic arc.
Format: Paperback
I've put off getting this volume because many of the stories have been printed elsewhere, particularly the McFarlane work. Plus, there was already a trade paperback of the Cosmic Spider-Man arc...
But this volume is a worthwhile replacement for those.
Ignoring the Cosmic material, which is generally really enjoyable, there are a few other stories collected here. There's a two-issue story of Spider-Man teaming up with the Punisher. Then there's a short two-issue story of Spider-Man against Venom. After that... three annuals, covering Spidey's Totally Tiny Adventure. It's a pretty silly story that guest stars Ant-Man for the first issue. This story is unusual, since it feels like the kind of story I would expect Marvel to publish in the late 60s or 70s. Artwork in annuals usually seems a little sub-par, but it's nice to see these stories reprinted.
Even better - the supplemental stories from the annuals are reprinted! We get solo stories for Solo, Sandman, Ant-Man, Prowler, Rocket Racer...
I was pleased to find that the Rocket Racer story ties into the Scourge storyline from Captain America!
There are other bonus pages, reprinting artwork, introductions from other collections, etc. They even include some of the Spider-Man trading cards from the old Marvel Universe cards!
I'd also like to take the opportunity to point out how much I enjoy Erik Larsen's artwork on Spider-Man. He brought his own flavor to Peter and Mary Jane. Supporting cast characters are well-defined. He has a lot of fun with background characters or people who get one or two lines. I read these comics when they first came out, and these reprints are far more enjoyable. The coloring is well matched up, the paper is great, and everything is lined up perfectly.
