Highlights

• The Maggia fill Goldbug, AKA Matthew Gilden, full of holes for bringing them radiated gold

Low Points

• Debra Whitman continues to pine over the thought of being with Peter Parker, and it makes me hate her all the more - Seriously, Biff Rifkin deserves better then her

Oddities

• Goldbug says he needs to live a life of crime to steel gold because that's what he uses to aid him in his life of crime - Maybe find a different shtick?
• Goldbugs gun shots gold dust at his targets which turns them into gold - That just seems unnecessarily expensive
• Editor's Day Off: Goldbug says, "Thought she was a another rent-a-cop.

• Despite being blasted by the Maggia, this issue isn't noted as the death of Goldbug

Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 62

Title: The Amazing Spider-Man

Issue Number: 62

Release Date: July 1968

Highlights

• Medusa of the Inhumans appears for the first time in Spider-Man

• Peter Parker is on the outs with Gwen Stacy after the events of the last story arc in issues 59 through 61
• Norman Osborn continues to be plagued by his fragmented memory of Green Goblin and Spider-Man

Low Points

• The plot of the story revolves around Medusa becoming the next model for Heavenly Hair Spray
• Montgomery G. Bliss makes up a story about Medusa destroying his photography studio to Spider-Man when Medusa walks out on her photo shoot
• Incredibly stupid story, almost a waste of time to read, if not for the Norman Osborn section

Oddities

• Spider-Man swings into action with a punch first, ask questions later mentality
• Medusa is just as hard headed as Spider-Man, unwilling to explain her side of the story, so instead they fight
