Going through my old comic book collection (60's to present). Memories and random observations about comics.

Finally made it to the Griffin Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago to check out the "Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" exhibit.
Something for Spidey fans of all ages and the crowd reflected that.
The biggest highlight for me? Getting to see this in person for the first time ever! #SpiderMan

Some fun life size photo op installations at the exhibition: Can pose next to a swinging Spidey or get caught in the tentacles of Doc Ock!

Still 2 weeks to check out the "Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" Exhibition at Chicago's Griffin Museum of Science + Industry. Ends Feb 8!
Besides many cool exhibits (see earlier posts), there is also an ENTIRE museum shop devoted solely to Spidey merch. I dreamed of this as a kid!

Another cool feature at the "Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" exhibit at Griffin Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago:
A typewritten first page of the script for ASM #82 (published in 1969 & one of the first Spidey comics I ever bought as a very young kid)--with handwritten edits by Stan.

This was back in the theaters this weekend & it was so fun to see it on the big screen again after 23 years.
Some of the effects don't hold up but this is still one of the best comic book movies of all time & probably my favorite.
This was the movie that made Marvel realize the MCU was possible.

A little something different for #TopShelfFriday.
Not a big key but one I'm very fond of--the first book I ever read written by Bill Mantlo, my favorite CB writer during my comic collecting youth.
I loved Mantlo's commitment to serialized storytelling & ambitious narrative vision. Still miss him.

Adam is such a ridiculous character. He does weekly 180 degree personality morphs as either hero or villain based solely on what the story needs. #TSITP

This movie did NOT underachieve. I don't care what anyone says. This was a good movie that made a lot of money.
