Spectacular Spider-Man #200

[cyberghostface]

“You’ve got two best friends who truly love each other but are also mortal enemies. If that isn’t a recipe for great drama, what is? Harry and Peter are both very complex people, which meant that while the superhero action played out there was lots of room for psychological and emotional exploration.” -- J.M. DeMatteis

Spectacular Spider-Man #200 is in my opinion one of the best Spider-Man issues of all time. Unfortunately Marvel seems to be intent on destroying its legacy; first by cheapening it by undoing Harry's death and then with Nick Spencer trying to 'fix' it by revealing that Harry was dead all along but he went to Hell and came back as a centipede-infested corpse-thing.

Nevertheless with Spencer's run concluding this week, let's take a look back...













While Harry makes it clear he won't harm Mary Jane he still has it in for Peter and things eventually reach their boiling point.

I thought they changed it so that Jack Murdock's final opponent was absorbing man before he got his powers, and Rocky Davis was a stage name.

That should say Crusher Creel. I typed Crusher Hogan because I'm an idiot.
