Comics Corner: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 69

   

Title: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man
Issue Number: 69
Release Date: August 1982

Highlights

  • First appearance of police officer, Heidi Weber
  • Cloak and Dagger return
  • Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 180, 200, Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 64, and 67
  • Cloak and Dagger may not be aligned - Spider-Man tells them they're just kids, asking if they wouldn't rather go to school, rock concerts, and out on dates - To which Dagger says yes, but Cloak says no
  • Debra Whitman has figured out that Peter Parker is Spider-Man
  • Spider-Man tries to quietly approach Kingpin, but the crime boss already knows he's there, why he's there, who he's looking for, and the entire story of Cloak and Dagger
  • Dagger blows Silvermane into a bloody mess with her light daggers, ushering in his apparent death - but he's not dead
Low Points
  • The Marvel writers writing "street talk" is incredibly difficult, and painful to read
Oddities
  • Spider-Man deduces that Cloak and Dagger are behind the scene with the drug dealers - But how? He only met them once, and that resulted in him trying to fight them - When did he learn their M.O.?

Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 69



Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 69
Release Date: February 1969

Highlights
  • The mysterious wife of the Kingpin is mentioned, but not by name - And it's clearly a hot topic for the crime boss to have one of his men talk about her
  • Gwen gets angry with a guy talking down about Peter and she slaps him in the face
  • Spider-Man proclaims at the end of the story that he's tired of being treated like a menace, but if people won't stop doing so, then he'll actively be one
Low Points
  • Mediocre at best
Oddities
  • Spider-Man takes off his shirt and uses it as a decoy. He then proceeds to fight without it on and looks really stupid - Like wearing just socks and underwear stupid
