Title: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man
Issue Number: 6
Release Date: May 1977
Highlights
- First camep appearance of The Empathoid as a shadowy figure
- Unique retelling of Marvel Team-Up 3
- Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 100, 101, 102, 167, 168, 169, Marvel Treasury 14, Marvel Team-Up 4, and Marvel Two-In-One 15
- Hostess Cupcake ad starring Captain America
- At the end of the day, it's just a reprint with a cliffhanger to segue into the next issue
- Didn't bother reading anything except the first few pages, and last couple because I've already read this story
- Didn't much care for the story the first time I read it - 2 Stans review
- The last few page segue could have easily have been an epilogue in any Spider-Man story - Marvel didn't need to do it this way, and it contributes to making Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man feel like a throw away title
Oddities
- None

Can't go wrong with Cap peddling Hostess. My favorite part of going through old comics are the ads.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many different variations of those ads with different heroes and villains. They are all great.
