This is the first appearance of Allistar Smythe (son of Spencer Smythe). Here he looks more like "Comic Book Guy" than the slim robotic man he would become. This classic hilarious story is from "Amazing Spider-Man" annual 19. It’s currently reprinted in the Mary Jane trade paperback which you all need to buy!
“Amazing Spider-Man” issue 33. There was no other logical choice for our 100th Spidey Memory. Not the spider bite, not the six arms, not the marriage, not Juggernaut or adultry with Betty Brant. Steve […]
I’m a big fan of the early issues of “Marvel Knights: Spider-Man”, but this was one of the odd moments of that arc. In issue 8, Peter tricks Jonah into believing his son John is […]
What is Peter and Mary Jane’s song? The one on the left is from Amazing Spider-Man # 153. The one on the right is from Amazing Spider-Man 428. Either way, they seem to like 1970s […]

Before I read it I felt this to be a goofy ridiculous story not worth reading by just reading the review, after reading it I really enjoyed the story
My first introduction to this tubbed guy was in the 90s show, a slim guy with a handicap that he can’t walk, really shocked me to see him fat and walk
“May Reilly Parker” took back the thought of Spider-Man being a menace and it suddenly returned in “Web of Spider-Man #001”, and then said here, never was it shown how she got back from thinking him a good guy
“I am Spider-Man?” Hmm… Model, actress, dresses in drag…girl you’re a jack of all trades, huh?
loved this story for two reasons…the sheer idiocy of it….and the cover!
