Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 211

   

Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 211
Release Date: December 1980

Highlights

  • First appearance of Morris Bench, who remains unidentified, and Joseph Pincus, who is only identified as a voice off panel
  • Also the first appearance of Mr. Whitman, and the U.S. Coast Guard
  • Peter has a new apartment neighbor, Joseph Pincus, who sings songs into the late hours of the night / early morning
  • Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 209
Low Points
  • Unnecessary attempt at comedy with Peter changing into his Spider-Man costume, but leaving his pajama bottoms on
  • Spider-Man kicks Sub-Mariner's teeth in, and then the next minute Mariner helps him, and leaves, ending the story abruptly
  • Real disappointing issue, especially on the heels of issue 210

Oddities
  • It just dawned on me - Spider-Man breaks a lot of windows swinging through them - Who's getting stiffed with that bill?
