In which Shanna the She Devil makes a pass at Spider-Man

[his_spiffynesss]

One of the comments in yesterday's Shanna post mentioned the time she tried hooking up with Spider-man and he turned her down. It turns out I have that issue of Ka-zar the Savage, and the idea of seeing Peter being an emotionally mature adult about his relationships would be a nice change of pace.

One thing that stuck out about the Ka-zar series to me was that every issue featured a wraparound cover, had no ads (except for a few in house ads) and the inside cover pages featured photo comics of the Marvel staff.



BACK STORY: Ka-zar and Shanna had ended up in New York because he needed brain surgery (hunter shot him in the head) despite the head injury Ka-zar gets loose in the city and due to the machinations of another villain Kraven the Hunter is busted out of prison and starts hunting him.
Thankfully Spidey shows up to help out, they finally get him to the hospital, but Ka-zar ends up succumbing to his injuries. Following that news, Shanna is pretty much walking on autopilot, like most people dealing with grief. It's also important to note Shanna doesn't know Peter is Spider-Man.

I will be the happiest little nerd when the mature and awsome Pete here merges with the current spidey but alas :'[

[cypherfdp]

So basically when current Spidey merges with Spidey as written everywhere except Amazing Spider-Man.

Wow. Fast service there. Thanks! :)

Yeah. That's the Parker I like to remember. What's funny is that back then, I think there were complaints from other fans (maybe in the letters' page or maybe in the promo rag for the company I bought my comics from. The internets not having yet come into being...) saying that stuff like this proved conclusively that actually Peter really didn't know how to deal with women like a grownup.

[rolleyes]

Soooo... those must be the fans that are now contributing to the main book, right?

[skalja]

Wait, how did they say Spidey SHOULD have acted?

[cleome45]

No specifics, but I think the implications were: Like, no REAL ADULT DUDE ever turns down FREE SEX, MAAAAAAAN!!

I would have guessed that they were appalled that he didn't leave any room for threesomes.

[cleome45]

So... Shanna/Pete/dead!Kazar ?! (I mean, at the time, they did think Kazar was dead...)

Y'know, viva everyone's favorite OT3, I try to have an open mind, and so on etc.

...but I'd have to back away slowly from that one.

[arilou_skiff]
