This was a really fun episode and based off of both of your love for these issues, you both probably started reading comics at a similar time as I did. McFarlane's art is still pretty damn exciting and fun. I just got the Michelinie/McFarlane omnibus and its a blast!

Oooh interesting. I never knew Stan tried the formula with Daredevil. I have read much of DD from the sixties.

I do like that they get hitched eventually haha.

In my estimation. Doc Ock is definitely top bad guy during this era. #SteveDitko #Spiderman.

The other splash pages by #SteveDitko.

Yesssssss. I gotta read me some Dredd.

Ooooh that is a good punch!!!!

Otto is my fav too. Always fun when he shows up and is hammy.

Yes! A real timeless quality and I never get tired of seeing Ditko drawn faces.

ASM #17 has the debut of the #Spiderman fan club as the Green Goblin shows up to pumpkin bomb the hell out of it. Flash Thompson being Spideys biggest fan is endlessly funny to me. Peter has to ditch the fight when he learns Aunt May has a heart attack. #StanLee #SteveDitko.

ASM #16 has the Circus of Crime and the first team up with Daredevil. I really enjoyed the action choreography in this issue and the Circus of Crime is endemic of the early silver age feel that leaves when #SteveDitko does. #StanLee #Spiderman. Early 60s Marvel is a hoot to read and it FEELS special

ASM #15 has the debut of Kraven the Hunter. I’ve always had a soft spot for ole Kraven and his smoking options. Here we get a solid fight at the zoo and deepening of Betty’s jealousy of Liz Allan. #SteveDitko #StanLee #Spiderman.

ASM#14 has the first appearance of the Green Goblin!!!!! The plot is NUTS! The Goblin pitches a movie involving him, #Spiderman, and the Enforcers! They share a van to the desert??? Anyone they all battle in a cave and the Hulk shows up. #SteveDitko #StanLee.

Yesss. The logic behind them definitely appeals to kid logic and I like that they exist. Silly but fun and cooler than Man Mountain Marko who shows up in the Romita era.
