Spider-Memories # 118
This is from Godzilla # 23 from 1979. Godzilla attacked New York and took on the Avengers. He also stopped by the Daily Bugle to taunt J.Jonah Jameson.
Spidey Memories#79
Since “Shattered Dimensions” is the current talk among Spidey fans and video gamers, I think it might be fun to remember old Spidey video game ads of old.

Actually, according to Stan himself, Betty is younger than Pete….the whole “older” thing is a common myth that I’ve seen some seasoned Spidey writers even fall into. She’s working there because the family had money problems due to her brothers gambling debts and mothers hospital bills.
Was it ever explained how much older Betty is than Pete, and why she is working there and not in school? I’m sure I read this at one point but don’t recall.
That is true, but given the timeline we have for that and other established sources, we can say for sure that it is Betty we are seeing in this issue.
Didn’t UTOS explain that Betty’s mom worked as JJJ’s secretary before Betty herself took over?
Oops. Did I say “she”? I meant he. Sorry Steve.
Tell me about the age downgrade. In this panel, it looks like she drew Bette like she was in her late forties.
