scans_dailyNo, the title is not a reference to Sins Past or any of that. Today we will look back at Gwen Stacy during the Steve Ditko days on Spider-Man. Gwen was a much different character during Ditko's days.
Here we see the first appearance of Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn. Introduced through their introduction to another supporting character (Flash Thompson). I don't think this introduction is particularly memorable but we never really got any kind of build up to Gwen and Harry joining the cast (Aunt May was still trying to get Pete and MJ together during these days).
Gwen was attracted to Peter since the first time she saw him. Given this is probably only the 2nd or so time Aunt May was hanging on death's door, it's understandable that Peter is so worried about her (this is the Master Planner arc).
Peter doesn't appear to give the attractive blonde the time of day in favor of his science experiment. Reed Richards would be so proud.
The Professor is Miles Warren, who later goes crazy and clones Peter and Gwen because he is crazy.
Gwen is clearly attracted to men who ignore her. Don't believe me yet?
Now do you believe me?
Gwen dials up the nastiness now.
But in all fairness...
Peter later goes to a space exhibit and Gwen sees him on line. She thinks to herself that she will casually bump into him. It'll be her chance to get to know him.
(Gwen in the middle left panel looks really evil!)
(Gwen is actually a very nasty person under Ditko.)
But there was hints of actual romance in Ditko's last few portions.
Ditko's Gwen was a definite "Tsundere."
Certainly not at all what people remember about her, huh.
