Back in 1977 Stan Lee and John Romita started the Spider-Man newspaper strip. They started it on January 3rd. I missed the anniversary’s date, but still it’s a milestone and it’s still going strong. Here is the first week of strips.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMbWYWg1XL0 Someone made a video of that week’s strip and even included the Sunday strip. Kinda cool.
That Namor team up was during the Fred Kida / Flor Dery stint.
Is there anywhere online that we can access the entire early Romita / Lee strips? These two were great and brought back fun memories! I would love to continue reading them! I know they were published in book and trade form, but is there anywhere we can find them online too?

I remember Namor teaming up with Peter in an Atlantian craft fighting Atuma during Romita’s stint on the strip.
Has that been collected into any Trade?
I’ve got the first volume of the Daily Strip in trade, my favourate story is where Spidey basicly tells a young boy to stop idolising him and REALLY goes to troll on him, reducing him to tears
The artwork is amazing. Romita is a true master.
Romita’s art always amazed me. If I could draw like that, I’d have Marvel and the world at my feet.
the strip is still running in our biggest newspaper in my country. i also have the 2 volumes Hardcover of course read the strips in crawlspace everyday
Hey I can’t believe that people are bickering over the art style of the strip. I’m just so glad we have it still going on 35 years later, it shows how things can really only get better with age (my point being is the whole Marriage thing works still see http://daylifeofthematt.blogspot.com/ post on the thrid of this month if you don’t believe me?, Also I am putting up those tales there from time to time, right now I’m a little behind yet hope to get caught soon with posting them.
Wow, look how much better the art was than it is now.
I feel compelled to link this

Many people that first week had their funny comics missing from that Las Vegas Sun newspaper. I would go out at 5am and take the funnies then clip them out and tape them on my wall. LoL The first day also included a poster which was a nice bonus.
