In the spirit of giving the people what they want, “Peter/MJ week” continues!
Going backwards a bit from yesterday, here is Peter and Mary Jane’s first kiss. One of my favorite first kisses in comics ever. I love how Robbie is so obviously looking at them out of the corner of his eye. This classic moment can be found in “Amazing Spider-Man” issue 143 and is collected in the “Clone Genesis” trade paperback.
From "Amazing Spider-Man" issue 389. Peter finds out that the mastermind behind the robot parents was Harry Osborn, who was thought to be dead at the time. I wonder if Norman ever found out about the time Harry […]
You know what this place needs? More Clones. I’m here to deliver. Over the next few days, I will bring some art to you, and all will involve hoodies, clones, Jackals and clones. And hoodies. […]
This took place in "Amazing Spider-Man" 146, the midst of the first clone saga. Aunt May tells off the person who would one day become Venom.

@Superchencho: In Sensational Annual #1 they took the original scene and added a bit. We get what MJ and Peter were thinking at the time, and from my vantage point, it made the original scene even better…
@Maxahiss – I don’t understand. It’s embellished but compiled real nicely? So did they mess it up or do a good thing?
I felt that this scene was embellished and compiled real nicely in the Sensational Annual during “Back in Black.” Certainly added weight to that issue.
What a great scene…I always remembered Robbie gleefully looking out of the corner of his eye…
As for Ross Andru? Best when inked by Frank Giacoia, not Esposito. Not a dynamic artist, but was very adept at telling a story. When you read his layouts you clearly knew what was happening. In some current stories, I sometimes catch myself going over several panels in a row to get a sense of the direction the action is taking place. In addition, his Peter Parker looks like Peter Parker…
Man I miss the 70’s!
I’ve just never seen any dynanism from the guy, his work has always looked so vanilla to me. Especially after guys like Buscema, Gil Kane and especially John Romita Sr., I thought his shit looked bland as hell. But I’m beginning to turn around…
I don’t mind Andru’s work, it’s just whenever he draws a smiling character, they tend to look insanely evil. (Especially his Aunt May, who looks like she should be introducing stories for “Tales from the Crypt.”
I’ve kind of disregarded Ross Andru’s art in the past, but this is a great page.
Hey Bertone, you’ve done it again, I also used the bottom half this page in What ever had happen to Peter Parker’s LOST kid, part one blog at DaylifeoftheMatt@blogspot.com I love that fans know better at least in my option what’s best for the characters of the whole Marvel universe than the writers and editors forced to do things byway of the company’s EIC demands.
Man, I love this scene.
She took off the hat, so it wouldn’t fall off when her head tilted back? Seems happy to me. And I love this kiss.
*wistful sigh* Man, I love this page!
Nice one Bertone, I always wondered why she took off her hat in that scene…it never seemed very necessary to me 😉
