Set Description:
#201-300 with the she's in silence and a sullen riot trading through her mind!
Anticipations for Villains keep it lively in this set. We've got Spidey seeing double, and he is having a time of it. Plot twists, new discoveries, and the overall theme getting grim for the web-slinger! It gets so bad; Spidey changes his wardrobe midway through. Much to his surprise and to go on for years, but "Wait, there is more!" Artist's fill out runs with delicate precision, like the infamous Romita Jr and McFarlane. Holding true with pencil and then the pen, these collaborators give and again.
A new beginning!
Spidey always gets the bad guy, with a little help from his friends!
Friends and Family have pushed an already Amazing Spider-man to his limits and all while creating boundaries. Those lines blur in this go around, as he once again has to sort it all out. Between home, work, and the all-around friendly neighborhood, it is getting this web-crawler to look beyond himself. Though the trials will come, he hasn't lost hope in faith and love.
Steady girls, role models, and other type quid pro quo acquaintances, as friends are pouring in around the already tumultuous landscape. Those he has close have been found willing, it would seem, to sort through the wreckage.
Spidey is not alone, and only after his stresses have surmounted will he see his weakness. Will those true to him have been found able to still his spirit with courage? It is all in order to web another day! Outcomes prove fruitful, if only to make him believe the claim of being "amazing", and he is still a hero when those that are seeking his demise are found to all have secrets themselves!
Silence plays a big part when counting the cost or blessings.

Punisher appearance. Marv Wolfman story with Keith Pollard & Jim Mooney art, and a John Romita & Bob McLeod cover. Is Spidey standing in the way of a man and his armory? That was new for me as a kid reading the fun loving "friendly neighborhood Spider-man." Believe it or not Spidey used to question the means by which good overcame evil, and not that it is all irrelevant today, but those questions he posed to himself in thought bubbles would intrigue a young reader. To not always give in to an easy solution, but find the effective ways to right a wrong, with simple understanding, and not to give too permanent a solution to temporary problems! Peter Parker under the mask has met the understanding within himself many times, and as for his usual sarcastic self, it would serve as a backdrop to portraying him as a real thinking person with life issues. He has lost his temper at times too, and not always gone too far, using restraint! A beautiful CGC 9.6!
Amazing Spider-man and Punisher, "Hitching a Ride!" ~ Green Day
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "The Kid Who Would Be King!" Garnishing those that would find the head strong will to be head of the pack, with new "powers" come new attitudes, but strength in numbers is real. Spidey like Excalibur, here in this issue, teaches that with power comes great responsibility! A moral with a "Sword in the Stone" kind of vibe! That is the permanent solution to any problem, however temporary or not, to not give in to one's weakness in justice!

Punisher appearance. Marv Wolfman story. Keith Pollard & Jim Mooney art. Keith Pollard & Joe Rubinstein cover. Some drug pushers and the Punisher seeking those to, well, be punished! He first finds Peter Parker by breaking into his apartment, but quick thinking on the part of Peter, he says it is all in accordance with the Spider-man as an alibi. That is convenient, but then the Punisher apologizes and is none the wiser. Punisher along with Spidey gladiate and to the point of exertion, being against all odds, as they are singled out, but not without coming to terms of what the official crisis is among the hoodlums and drugs. Bought this circa 2024 from boardie "ft88" with a number of others that I won't mention it in every description, but those Punisher appearances in early Spidey issues really seem to count towards some covers of swift action and otherwise all out brawls, with bullets even!

Complete with a back cover picture of the screen at the prescreen before released publicly of, "The Gladiator: II!" A numbers game that finds those with loyalty being rewarded by an otherwise underdog with a legacy. Throwing dirt in the eye it is not as well-rounded as the first movie, but the years between them do promote the ambition of taking up the mantles that sometimes lay by the wayside. Gladiator and pauper alike view the spectator like arena's in collecting comics, comics, comics.

3rd appearance of Dazzler. Lightmaster appearance. A lightshow in itself, that spurred later characters of note, but here the Dazzler gets her display as a cover and spectacularly. Showing that blinding the enemy almost happens all its own, but what will be revealed in the light is what holds true. Spider-Man gets an ear full and also an eyeful to make those spider-senses sing in tune. It was all on a day that the Spider-Man was deducing things, that he discovers a distress and finds a damsel holding her own, but he tries to help in any way he can. Such is the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! He is not always as underfoot as it seems, though he does try and understand the ways of social behavior. Comics are great reads if only to learn, and try and try again, if at first you don't succeed. Taking those character flaws to polish is a lifelong endeavor, but the story building proves fruitful towards the vine of an ever-expanding rooted tree and universe.
Dazzler and the costume she was mostly known by in the 90's and going forward, with less shining ephemera, but still rock them and sock them attitude! Jim Lee style.
Complete with a back cover picture of those in a modern light show of characters and in statue form of, "Jubilee!" Today is the day of salvation and that is proclaiming as being a Jubilee, and of years past carrying on the display of lights, camera, ACTION! Hers are more fireworks, which may be a louder and prouder display, but she is young enough to belong to Xavier's School for Higher Learning and she can have the Dazzler for a mentor.

Black Cat appearance. David Michelinie story. Keith Pollard & Jim Mooney art. Al Milgrom cover. The Black Cat is back at it and stealing things with a romantic "ring" to them, as Spidey finds himself once again as a therapist within the interactions of her life's ordeals and thievery. The Black Cat is circumventing to her own tendencies as she romanticizes the stones, of the shiny and sparkling variety. Only to have herself thrust in maneuvers towards the chandeliers of the high life within her acrobats. It is amazing how the Spider-man falls for the cat call like reflexes of the, "Woe is me!" Of an attitude fierce variety that Spidey, however, is also not able to "help himself" while in the throes of being a hero and finding himself having to be just to do his duty in any way or form in order to stop the capers. As the Black Cat is in a narrowing line of escape, she herself just wants to live by the whims of adrenaline and Spidey won't sway her actions nor cause.
lol Ham-booger the jewels away like some kind of cat-like panther will not a jealousy create? You've underestimated the salad bar my good, sherlock.
Complete with a back cover picture of the "readers box" when watching Spidey trip over the wares left behind of an all-out spectacle. It is another type of ring that he is used to, and no Karate Kid Dojo has ever prepared him for the audience of the less traveled though experienced Black Cat. Might as well have looked at Spidey with a side eye! Feel you on the comics inside, women and men relationships or sure ever heroic Spiders and Cats.

Doctor Jonas Harrow appearance. Roger Stern story. John Byrne & Gene Day art. Al Milgrom cover. A "harrower" is one that causes acute sorrow, and here we have Jonas (not of the brothers I might add) playing with the amnesiac J. Jonah Jameson to cause upheaval and or emotional turmoil. As everyone loves and was Kung-Fu Fighting, it takes a Spider-man as an employed Peter Parker to hash it all out and get to the bottom of the circumstances. Having already influenced people or villains such as the Wisp, it takes a backdrop to the main story that things are bigger than they seem. Bought from boardie "ft88" this circa 2024 end of year, it was a nice addition to the collection to build and create some quantity of quality for the registry. Honing those skills to infiltrate the new year, while saying good dealings with the current, it is all an emotional tear jerk in itself!
"Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" ~ Rush Hour
Complete with a back cover picture of a certain Harrower himself, "THE Crow!" A Sideshow statue that I bought to help out the Local Comic Shop when their van needed work. Featuring the likeness of Brandon Lee himself and toting the self-proclaimed crow of sorrow along with weapon and his wife's wedding ring around his neck, seemingly walking a fire trail and causing those of emotional upheaval to know his brand of justice in mercy. "The Crow had tattoos?" Upper left shows 8 of them, and no matter how they are "temporary", justice in mercy will prevail! Comic Insides! Why Not!?

Mesmero appearance. Denny O'Neil story. Jim Mooney & Pablo Marcos art. Mike Nasser & Al Milgrom cover. It is about a puppet type master, as Mesmero gets out staged. Attempting to curb his review he hypnotizes or otherwise tries to end the life of the critic. When Spider-man intervenes, he then is the new focus of Mesmero's intentions on stage and in view of a captive audience. That takes some pluck and or nerve to be outshined before the curtain call, but Spidey manages to pull off the heroics and even after being paid for the performance. Spidey has the presence of mind where others come first, but his heart lies in the knowledge of how to do so, which with the ever-so-sarcastic Spidey he then sometimes struggles. He can win over a heart or audience given time but is only allotted a few instances that are within his reach this issue, which can be a sticky wicket. As the TV show Family Guy likes to say, "Everybody Gets One!"
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released publicly to theaters of, "The Fanatic!" A longtime fan, such as in this issue of Amazing Spider-man, of film is trying to see his favorite performing star. Only then to get swept up in trying to be in contact when the first showing doesn't go well. This turns into an obsession, kind of similar to Mesmero who abhors the critics and is shortsighted this issue. This movie stars John Travolta! Heal you on the comics inside but not without the bow of the head and bow in the sky of fireworks!

1st appearance of Lance Bannon & Fusion, the Twin Terror (Hubert & Pinky Fusser). Science is once again at the forefront for the Pinky and the Brain type. Who are doing what they do every night! Try to take over the world. After this the Pinky named janitor and his fellow scientist play with the universe, and they are bonded together inseparable. The Pinky character attempts to do right and severs the bond, but the fusion that was at play means they must stay within a radius of proximity to each other, to survive. A not so virtual prison develops and there is no longer a true way to part ways. With the goodness that Pinky, it is then having to put up with what he discouraged to begin with and for the rest of their existence. Such is the piety of carnality in real time, if one understands there is good vs evil, and however they label it for themselves, as The Truth does often enough play out but sometimes by slim margins, which is unfortunate.
Complete with a back cover picture of the Animaniacs Comic, which starred said Pinky and the Brain characters and were created by Steven Spielberg and Co., even the tagline, "Try to take over the world!" Repetitiveness can have its sway but by nature still be chaotic, especially if positive results are not produced, and such are the mouse traps of the world but to build a better one and you've got the double-sided coin to see profit! Hear you on the upside-down Spidey for this topsy turvy comics insides!

1st appearance of Madame Web. "Mark Jewelers" insert. Denny O'Neil story. John Romita Jr. & Joe Sinnott art. John Romita Jr. & Al Milgrom cover. She's got the Sweeny the swoon swan song, but by the detective innocence the law of the land at the layout of a house to pray in or at, with faithful work to speak of that isn't the oldest profession nor confession in the world. A bit like an Agatha, or Christie, but more like Heavy Metall Magazine to sing these Shotgun Blues G'N'R". Don't know what they did but know they have the move of the heavily adorned while becoming something in a comic book form more than a Jurassic type of film of Aerosmith's Shut up and Dance! God help the Mr. that comes between me and my sister, as a mother may mother goose taps out at a young age with tutelage taught from these here comics, comics, media and comics! Spiderman, men and woman becoming an organization, when they keep it together for the kids!
Complete with a back cover picture of the walk up to the medieval and the times that Spidey has penetrated towers beyond his kin, yet we all run back to the One that makes whole and by the seed of the heel that brought us healing. A "thwip" and a way of swinging over castle walls, we cheer because we know it is made up of attendance and we ourselves are not to over step these boundaries whether unto us alone or by the web of madams in commitment and dating this existence we've been afforded; although, some ticket holders aren't as made as the mark on their mind, heart, soul, and strengths.

1st appearance of the Hydro-man, in 9.6 white pages! Oh Ya! Give me someone who looks a lot like that "Sandman" character, and that instead spews water, that's got to be easier to find than sand! Unless of course you're made of the stuff and don't need to manipulate the matter! Bruce Lee said be like water! Even Bruce could squash the bugs. Spidey has the kick swoosh that whites out the air in one fail swoop. Keep it together, cause they're in the streets and they don't want innocent bystanders to get washed out to sea. Boom Roasted. Hydro-man takes a while to appear again, however I think he loses weight or gets a little more fit. In this issue he has too much water weight. He looks plump but this issue was distributed around Christmas, so maybe he was full of holiday ham. Time will tell if the water can move the mountain of media, although when it is time, those Copper Age books will be mined for nostalgia.

Complete with a back cover picture of Avatar the Way of Water prescreen movie pass before it hit theaters! Fitting for this the first Hydro Man appearance. The way of water had the effects in film that had visual appeal as well. Movies do affect comics or bring to bear the market. Really expensive effects and affects! A lot to take in but respectfully done. Even Alien comics actress Sigourney Weaver was representing in the film, this time with water!

Wizard & Llyra appearance. Denny O'Neil story. John Romita Jr. & Jim Mooney art. John Romita Jr. & Al Milgrom cover. A good start at a soap opry this issue, with a beautiful woman, a prisoner who escaped, along with a wizard that are all found meeting up at the Amazing Spider-man's apartment building. Well, it all gets dropped in the lap of the still unaware Peter Parker, quite suddenly, who is then webbing up the neighborhood as Spider-Man, and while being tracked instead of doing some tracking of his own! Showing that circumstances prove to all be out of his control, and while he comes to this revelation on his own. Still, who or what can make sense of the situations when the mysterious individuals are not revealed until the next issue. It is all why Peter Parker likes Mary Jane, who is dependable, steady, and while still somehow being the life of the party. These are the "days of Spidey's lives!"
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of "Cordially Invited!" Starring Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrel as they sport, not so much romance, but instead the hilarity of circumstance we've all exhausted ourselves on dates. This issue of Spider-man keeps seeing a gorgeous woman show up to his place of residence, and he is being beckoned to a trap! It is surmountable in the long run, but what mysteries await?

Sub-Mariner & Frightful Four. (Wizard, Trapster, Sandman & Llyra) appearance. Mysterious strangers and their ability to track a Spider-man are being revealed this issue. Among all the conjecture, neighbors of Parker's apartment dwelling are now welcoming the likes of the Submariner! All accumulating into a shebang of turmoil that reflects the everyday webbings that eventually get photographed for the Daily Bugle! All the makings of some lifeblood in relating to the Spider-man, and even among the ones that the Submariner brings to light while knocking a few blows with a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man! Peter Parker will come to terms within his inner circle, and he is still finding trust among his self-talk that is ever evolving. Mary Jane still finds it enough of a wild side to make do with him as a mate, as it is all boundless within the illustrated pages, and keeping us, as comic readers, seeking to find those next issues from the bargain bins!

Here is Namorita and there is also then Llyra this issue, Atlantis had many a swimmer that could go for the gold.
Complete with a back cover picture of the "screen" at the prescreen before released publicly of, "Hunter Killer!" Speaking of the Submariner, and sometimes him as a hunter, a submarine movie can be for those killer underwater type of thrill rides aiming at high quality. When we're lost in an ocean of relations, and or relationships, even a Spider-man can feel foreign to those closeknit, as it takes life's vehicles of inspiration to maintain us. Water can be fun with sub aquatic vehicles that take expertise to operate and can give us some unique adventurers and adventures.

Madame Web appearance. Denny O'Neil story. John Romita Jr. & Jim Mooney art. John Romita Jr. & Al Milgrom cover. The pitfalls of clairvoyance that can take a stumble towards those darker premonitions, as it is never for the benefit and in the long run is only something to avoid. Why not avoid it all together and enjoy it as it happens? Life includes something such as prophecy, of which clairvoyance is a cheap imitation. Is this Madame Web kin? Akin to something from a Spider and said universe? It is all a mockup of how she is to use her disguise into something with influence, as somehow a "telling of psychic abilities" just isn't doing the trick. Faith, Hope and Love win out, as the Spider-man tries to defy premonition in thwarting an assassination attempt. That these foretelling's now only forbid the Spider-man of his own choice in the matter causes him to decide and deduce for himself. Once you take "choice" out of the equation it is not long until you're blinded by the light.
Benjamin Button this war by blind justice being in the eye of the beholder.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released publicly of the movie, "Moana: 2!" Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and a telling of a love for culture, but sometimes it is in the right place and time, as family gets involved. Not the fake kind but just growing up and naturally living out those whims of notions and taking some responsibility for the actions of choice and the power therein of that freedom.

Grey Gargoyle & Matt Murdock appearance. Denny O'Neil story. Luke McDonnell & Jim Mooney art. Frank Miller cover. Peter the Criminal that took the bars by beer hops and storming his own castle to inner dwellings of minutia. That vomits as well as any now a days, by the grace afforded when lit on fire. About right from the art showing the hierarchy of pain that dwells above, therein, all around, and without but the hope of food for thought and the anguish of fellow man fellows. I guess that is the twist of confession when the world has loved in the brokenness to bind up the Samaritan wounded. Parker doesn't take himself too kindly, for what choice is actually his. Those aren't the tears of redemption but the gulping swallows that are laden for the kings, when a King is among them then it will be the freedom and liberties at least. Surely right, because someone keeps Parkers and Peters and Johns as well all other promises.
Those characters of Frank Miller-Esque past times but with the mood ring set to stun as an Agatha Christie who done it. Times aren’t as changing for morale nor morality, as often the beatings continue until more is improved, approved, and people like it. That’s the alleyway adventurers by gum or George or whatever Michael rows your boat ashore.
Complete with a back cover picture of a follow up to this issue #219 ASM, as everyone is going to jail that does the time in the crime but for restitution and redeeming grace in forgetting those things, which are behind and pressing forward and upward toward the prize called in Christ. Redeemer, we pray even in Spidey Super Stories #39, for these we children need rearing, marriage, and parental guidance when there are a Thanos and a Cosmic Cube, not to mention a copter (woo-hoo!) used for lancing in the Avengers films! Comic Insides! Why Not!?

1st James Sanders as Speed Demon (formerly the Whizzer). Bill Mantlo story. Bob Hall & Jim Mooney art. Walt Simonson cover. When sowing and reaping are the artform, it can only be the bread that takes the win for life and wind, Spirit and Truth, and by what war and ship that we seek to pass. An Amazing Spider-man uses his sarcasm, which is taken too far as his wit is not strengthened in heart to overcome. Recognizing his weakness takes his scruples same as the next person, but when being asked for peace make sure that it is not the last piece by what may forgo the grace, as Jonah said to a whale in offered choices. Home by any other calling is not to be compared with those we suffice to make in any version of heartfelt time and places, whether by what we see or hope to have faith in. Someday remedies will be growing on trees, and the Aleph (1st in a line of letters) will know by what Alpha seeker is the Omega that is found in order to be with the last, and the last first.

Cobra & Mister Hyde appearance. Friends come to bargain after the "Cobra" is apparently living it up by himself in a life of crime. He is thwarted by an Amazing Spider-man but not without some casualties, namely Ned Leeds! Who has taken poison darts by way of being a hero himself by jumping in the way to save another. All a buildup to down the road goblins that will take control of minds and spirits. Cobra himself then becoming barter to the Mr. Hyde who had been thought flash frozen in a battle with Captain America in a previous encounter. Spidey finds himself precariously involved when trying to get to the police, after fending off the brunt of the altercation, as it ends. Bought this from boardie "ft88" in a board's transaction circa 2024-year end. All in the cards of taking in holidays with eating, while hoping to round the year out nicely with slabs and those collecting urges!
Complete with a back cover picture of the "Cobra Kai" menu from the prescreen before released to streaming, it takes those cobras of old to show with what whimsy the new is packaged. Notwithstanding there should always be room for getting alone surrounded by solemn meditation for the Christmas spirit and among ideas of manger activities with psalms. Always be a helping hand to those happy and rewarding morals, and with the morale of character therein!
