Comics Corner: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 84

   

Title: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man
Issue Number: 84
Release Date: November 1983

Highlights

  • First appearance of Brian Daley, Marjorie Daley, Brian Daley Jr., and Conchita Hernandez (First appearance)
  • I dig the nostalgic arcade cover with nods to Pac-Man, Sea Wolf, and Missile Command
  • Brian Daley takes his son out for a walk in his stroller to drum up votes for the upcoming election
  • Conchita Hernandez takes the child when nobody is paying attention, and disappears from the scene
  • Black Cat is released from the hospital, and Spider-Man finds out there won't be any bill since she was wounded trying to save the city
  • J. Jonah Jameson reports on the kidnapping, but deems the story too large to contain to the paper, so he hires a full crew to bring the report live over national television
  • Marjorie Daley doesn't support her husband's campaign, and tires of him doing everything to seek votes
Low Points
  • Conchita has a dead baby in a crib in her apartment - her dead baby
  • Spider-Man beats up a pack of wild dogs
Oddities
  • Spider-Man tells Conchita he won't tell anyone that she kidnapped Brian Jr., after she is beaten by a group of junkies who take the kid from her - because she shouldn't face consequences why?
