Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 188
Release Date: January 1979
Highlights
- First appearance of Brad Davis, and Jigsaw's henchmen, Louise, Archie, and Terry O'Conner
- The prior issue now makes sense - Electro was paid to create the blackout for unknown henchmen to steal the body of John Jameson in his cryogenic state
- I think it finally dawned on me with this issue the connection between Aunt May and Peter Parker - I get it now why she means so much to him
- J. Jonah Jameson talks about his wife's death - I knew he was single, but did I miss that for over 100 issues? Or is this the first time it's been mentioned?
- Liz Allan and Harry Osborn are being sneaky, trying to get Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson back together
- Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 162, and 176 - 180
- Jigsaw is terrified of Spider-Man, and it's his fear that is his undoing in the end - Reminds me of Batman
- Despite the first few pages tying in to the prior issue, the rest of the story is a throw away, villain of the week
Oddities
- None
