Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 308
Release Date: Early November 1988
Highlights
- Todd McFarlane hid one spider on this cover
- First appearance of Chili Bono
- Peter returns home from Chicago to find his wife missing
- She's closer than he thinks, being held a few floors down by Jonathon Caesar
- Mary Jane slaps Caesar across the face when he touches her, only to get smacked right back
- Caesar tells her that he always gets what he wants, and even his parents learned to never tell him no
- He then talks about the disappearance of his brother for not letting him have his train set
- Peter has a signing at a bookstore in Queens, but can't fathom going with his wife missing, until Aunt May calls and says she and several friends will be attending the event
- Felicia Hardy, AKA Black Cat, shows up at the Bedford building looking for Peter, but is told she'll have to come back when he's there
- After getting a tip from Chili Bono, Spider-Man heads to a cemetery in the Bronx, following a rumor that someone hiding there wants revenge on him
- After beating up his goons, Taskmaster appears
- Reference is made to Marvel Team-Up 103, and Captain America 334
- Taskmaster tries to explain to Spider-Man that he doesn't know Mary Jane Watson, and that Spider-Man has gone crazy
- Fighting of course ensues
- Did you find the hidden spider?
- It's part of the grass, climbing at the base of the tombstone on the far right
- Felix the Cat is hidden in the silhouettes of the grave stones, atop the furthest on the left of the four clustered on the right
- Cool to see McFarlane's rendition of Taskmaster, but overall, a pretty dull issue that draws out the story arc for no real reason
Oddities
- None
