Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 62



Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 62
Release Date: July 1968

Highlights
  • Medusa of the Inhumans appears for the first time in Spider-Man
  • Medusa has come to see if mankind still fears her people, or if they can now return to Earth
  • Peter Parker is on the outs with Gwen Stacy after the events of the last story arc in issues 59 through 61
  • Norman Osborn continues to be plagued by his fragmented memory of Green Goblin and Spider-Man
Low Points
  • The plot of the story revolves around Medusa becoming the next model for Heavenly Hair Spray
  • Montgomery G. Bliss makes up a story about Medusa destroying his photography studio to Spider-Man when Medusa walks out on her photo shoot
  • Incredibly stupid story, almost a waste of time to read, if not for the Norman Osborn section
Oddities
  • Spider-Man swings into action with a punch first, ask questions later mentality
  • Medusa is just as hard headed as Spider-Man, unwilling to explain her side of the story, so instead they fight
Rating (based on a 1 through 5 Stans grading system)
