Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz did a great run on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. They made Spider-Man the "giant killer" of Marvel in the 1980s.
Despite that, this makes no sense whatsoever.



From AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #270, 1985. Spider-Man is not wearing the symbiote.

I still have memories of how I got this comic. I was around five or six years old. My parents were vacationing at Wisconsin Dells. On the way back home given there was no such things yet called Game Boys or Walkman they bought me this comic to get my attention. Boy did it...

Greetings True Believers!

I'm putting away my recently purchased Thor back-issues and I keep running into awesome Volstagg moments.

These ones came from Asgard's war against the Egyptian god Seth.

Enjoy!

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.

The relationship of Spider-man and Daredevil has just undergone a character changing moment (The Death of Jean DeWolff). It was immediately followed by a character defining arc for Daredevil (Born Again). Before, he was the older brother, the one who knew better. He started his career out of vengeance, but continues it for love. He was the preachy one who thought heroes ought to be serious. He believed in JUSTICE--and he knew that sometimes you had to take the long view and make the hard choices to get it.

Now, "crazy" has been added to Daredevil's character attributes. Along with a deeper connection to religion and a specific territory that he considered his. With the highwater mark for the title being essentially "Daredevil's crappy life", Matt Murdock's life would get bad enough that occasionally even Spider-man was impressed at it's depths.

Greetings True Believers!

I love old-school OHMUs. I picked up a handful at Wizard-Con. I really like the art and the way they really went all-out with the bios and power descriptions.

I picked out few examples of my favorite art from the stack I bought. WARNING! 80s fashion and hair-cuts ahoy!

Evidence of teh awesome # 17, 321: Cap is one the short-list of those who are worthy enough to lift Mjolnir.

Enjoy!

I was tempted to go for DOOM.
But then I was reminded that my favorite things in life are Cyborg Supermen.
Though if I'm going to go with my favorite male character it's all about this being about business, nothing more. Someone utterly sane and rational. Someone so unlike the Green Goblin!

I've been a bit surprised at the complete lack of Spider-Man entries for Gratuitious Butt-Shot Week. I mean, come on -- they're the Spectacular Spider-Buttocks! The most famous ass in Marvel, and justifiably so!

I tried to find some examples in my scans folder, but I keep forgetting that I have so many files in there I can never find anything on purpose. However, I did finda little gem from ASM Annual 18 (plot Tom DeFalco, writer Stan Lee, pencils by Ron Frenz, cover date 1984) which I'm sharing with you now. In a way it's good that I'm posting this today, because it's a nice antidote to the ridiculousness with Peter and Jameson going on right now.

Wedding bells are ringing... )

And now I challenge you all -- bring on the Spider-Butt!
