  • First appearance of the State Street Hospital
Low Points
  • A goofy story, and a trend it seems in this timeline of Spider-Man
  • Red 9, a new villain in town is dead set on defeating Spider-Man for one reason - To show the folks back home he can whip anyone
  • Pops orders Spider-Man to clean up the mess he made by crashing through the window of his hospital room
  • Dr. Rattamun, annoyed with Pops, tells the old man that he was told three months ago he only had one month to live, and should have stuck to that schedule
  • I stopped noting thing because this is like a bad Archie book, starring Spider-Man
  • First zero Stans rating
Oddities
  • Spider-Man dropping swear words - Not cool, Marvel
  • The state has declared Pops dead, and by the end of the day Rattamun will be throwing him out of the hospital
    • Spider-Man says he'll sort out the mess
  • Spider-Man webs up a hang glider, and uses it to soar across the sky attached to a speed boat
