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
- 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)
