Truly a classic, but it's only the second most infamous and haunting Spider-Man story where our hero gets smacked in the head by masonry.

Right now, he has the strength of a spider. Not the proportional strength.

They liked the scene where Spidey pulls an angry raccoon out of a spaceship so much they drew it twice.

Some people don't get Sunday papers and some only get Sunday papers, so they repeat things so that there's narrative continuity (such as it is) even if you read only one or the other, and also even if you occasionally skip a day.

I haven't been paying attention. Does pointless repetition belong in the Newspaper Spider-man thread?

So then a full week of The Amazing Spider-Man and his wife talking to two old ladies, and they still haven't set up anything, or even managed to make it inside the hotel yet. Never change, Newspaper Spider-Man.

Spider-Man is a soap opera comic strip, and it should be interpreted as such.

Wait so why didn't Aunt May just drink from the fountain of youth so she wouldn't have old people health problems that kept her from living in Mole Land?

Because this jerk controls it, probably.

In a story where a troglodyte who literally lives under rocks is planning a wedding with an octogenarian... Spider-Man is creepier by a county mole mile.

The proportional creepiness of a spider.

It's a few times, but if it was just him it's like hey....sometimes Steve needs to be a werewolf. Throwing Sam in there and now it's this thing where evidently lycanthropy is a fundamental American characteristic or some poo poo.

A curse resulting in uncontrollable shocking brutality that is later bitterly regretted but seemingly incurable? Sounds pretty American to me.
