Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 219

   

Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 219
Release Date: August 1981

Highlights

  • First appearance of Armand DuBroth
  • Jim Novak does some really unique lettering on the "credits" splash - It's not often the letterer stands out
  • Reference is made to Daredevil 73, and The Amazing Spider-Man 213
  • Peter dawns his old faded costume he ruined with his homemade detergent
  • Peter also utilizes his original web shooters he used in high school
Low Points
  • Peter Parker breaks into a prison to take photos, and hopefully get photos of a break out in progress - Which he does, and then gets caught and arrested
  • The whole story is a complete 180 of who Peter Parker is
  • After retrieving his costume and web shooters, Spider-Man tosses his faded outfit and old web shooters into the ocean
  • Story just abruptly wraps up and ends, and it doesn't even conclude with Peter being proven innocent, but instead just implied he will be
  • Story was so bad that I wished I had created a 1/2 Stan rating option
Oddities
  • Editor's Day Off: DuBroth's name is changed incorrectly mid story to DuBroil
  • Editor's Continued Day Off: A few panels later, DuBroth is incorrectly refered to as DuBrow
Rating (based on a 1 through 5 Stans grading system)
