Title: Peter Parker, The Spectcular Spider-Man
Issue Number: 87
Release Date: February 1984
Highlights
- Spider-Man takes Black Cat to his Chelsea apartment, and upon first glance, she's not impressed
- Spider-Man explains that being him didn't make him rich, and Felicia wants to know why
- Spider-Man tells Black Cat his origin, takes his mask off in the process
- Black Cat freaks out, and tells him to put his mask back on
- Black Cat tells Spider-Man that she loves him, basically saying that she doesn't want to be with Peter Parker
- Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 249
- Spider-Man is upset that he trusted Black Cat with his secret, only to be rejected
- Spider-Man starts to reconsider, maybe Spider-Man is who he'd rather be, which is why Peter Parker dropped out of school
- Spider-Man relents to the fact that Black Cat doesn't want to be with Peter Parker, and decides to go with it
- The continuity of Spider-Man is off
- The events of this issue take place right after Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 86
- Chronologically, it's noted that after issue 86 of Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man that one should read The Amazing Spider-Man 249, 250, 251, and Marvel Team-Up 138 before reading Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 87
- The Amazing Spider-Man 249 is a three issue story arc, continuing in issue 250, and concluding in issue 251 where Spider-Man mysteriously vanishes, with each issue picking up immediately where the other left off
- There's no way the events of Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 87 could have happened after issue 251
- Further, there's no way the events of Marvel Team-Up 138 could have occurred after 251 either
- I'm not a fan of Spider-Man throwing Peter Parker away just for some tail
- No major villain appearances, just some random thugs to give Spider-Man and Black Cat easy targets to beat up as a team
Oddities
- Editor's Day Off: Those classic eye lenses colored red in several panels
