@Andrew C,
To be fair, the Spidey Super Stories title was written for a very young readership, so everything in it is pretty corny from an adult perspective and almost no one acts in character. It’s also the title where Thanos rode around in a chopper with his name on the side, got beaten by a kid, and then was arrested by regular cops!
Corny. I don’t know who this Kolfax is, but he wrote a terrible, Saturday Morning Cartoon sounding Kingpin.
If only Spider-Man and Daredevil exploited this weakness, Daredevil could’ve been spared from his life being ruined over and over, and we could’ve been spared from OMD.
