Set Description:
10 silver aged years for a bronze aged like 1st anniversary of the Spidey 1st appearances, which will give you such a crick in the neck ~ Paraphrase Robin William's ~ Alladin
Shifting gears as some Last Man Standing out in the wild blue yonder, as to practice the art of concealment with a set showing the Monty's of Pythons skits and to add in this explosive random set. To learn I owned most of these books already is to roll up the crossword like puzzles and sleeves to get this registry set added.
Realized and hidden among all the new sets available to make, is that it needs be created because of the fulfillment that it already has in physical form in my collection. Spider-man and a Spidey Spectacular; Team-Up's of the Bronzer age and Make-Up like past times with some Party Line's.
To get this thoroughfare out from the unknown and down to do the conga like comic slot fill out.
Fairly nice to hope and fill out the rest of the set and nice to spike the nard within the already owned slabs. Raising the partition glass of cheers toward Spidey as is music to Peter Parker's ears. After all the Silver Age is what has prepared him for this read between the proverbial aged lines to be set among the registries. With Still No Wrinkles?
Just a flat ironing out of what is already available and to be made aware of the collection.
Only a Spidey-Sense will make you jump-jump off the wall toward the dance floor and wonder why in order to bounce back it is a thwip of the wrist web lest you go hungry.
Like Jack Sparrow character made us whole heartedly ask, "Where is the thump-thump?"
Love for comics is a heartbeat that puts up or sneaks up to contemplate doing the robot instead. Spidey-Sense Sensei's say this is a two-step covered adventure set, like Texas-Hold-Em! Can't hit the target unless you put them up.
Now to get serious and stop imagining those wild crazy dance party moves that Spidey also seems to ponder during a lot of worded bubble scenes in the heat of anything: battle, walking to class, meeting for dates, and any other Aunt May celebrations. It isn't a deviation nor a divination rather procrastinations of important plot twisting's that Spidey needs to slow down the sarcasm in order to create some convenience to jump the fences. He doesn't often look back or over his shoulder due to his Spidey-sense, but he does indicate a lot of remembering, recalling, and rehashing these events. Sometimes wound tighter than a tetherball whip as a team-up teammate but does always try to leave room for banter and the swing thwipping slapshot of the other players, whether around the schools of thought or in hopes of drawing in others to life's little playground.
It doesn't always revolve around him and as an ultimate or supreme self-taught a lesson that is, well, Peter Parker isn't always at his full attention of normalcy when there is the superhero thing to become and naturally any growing attributes and characteristics need train the human side of Peter into a hero of marriage material.

Origin and 1st Appearance of "Kangaroo" (Frank Oliver) Another Half Price Books Find that was READ and put away, nice to now have it slabbed. The guy grew up with Kangaroos and is trying to get used to city life! HAHAHA. Life in the city and country are very different, and when you're trying to do right, misunderstandings happen. Spidey really never was good at calming someone down. I can't count the times that his mouth just escalated things, simple things. It was always aggravating. He was sometimes too salty for what was tried to be portrayed as, "Peter Parker? Oh, what a sweet boy." lol Given the times and era of Parkers upbringing, I think Aunt May was probably too lenient, and yet, Parker the Spider-Man was out fighting crime and having real dangers. This issue may seem more of an "adventure", yet those don't get a pass for childish behavior.
I'm going to ride on, ride on; I'm gonna ride on, right on!
Complete with a back cover picture of the memento and souvenir from boardie punisherpunisherpunisher, or simply my boardie friend Chad, who visited from Australia! Koala and Kangaroo Too! Mugs for a double cup of Java! Pressing Candidate

1st appearance of Morbius, the Living Vampire (Doctor Michael Morbius). Lizard appearance. Last 15 cents issue. I bought this 2022 December as prices are tending to come down a bit. I've owned the 2nd appearance and origin for quite some time, although I wanted a decent mid-grade copy of the 1st app, I could never swing it until now from eBay. Older label, and sure to fit the collection nicely! They even spelled the "Morbius" name correctly on the 1st appearance as opposed to the 2nd, a running joke. The movie was dismal but when it came to the silver age of comics, it is still worth a pickup! This #101 issue is just after having ran for 100 issues, and they weren't quite done with the Amazing Spider-man story line, it would be built on the backs of "greats" for years to come. I'm just happy to have grown up hearing of the older tales, and to now see them celebrated, is a sight to see! $503 Cost.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Lisa Frankenstein!" As the search for body parts continues in comic and movie form, you decide which is worse: the feeding to stay alive by blood or harvesting parts of those passed on to reattach to the living dead? Those are spine tingling sensations that are Vampires and Frankenstein's alike!

1st appearance of Sha Shan, who is an Asian Character that Eddie Brock tries to date, seemingly it gets heated, and they don't always agree on the relationship. She could be used in Eddie's story and/or be a more developed character for sure! A David Micheline letter in the back, who went on to work in comics. Yes, it isn't a new love story, yet it's the most probable. The actors and actresses in the Venom Sony movies are from all backgrounds. Tom Hardy tries his best. I was there for a prescreen several times. It's fun to think about, yet the role needs some work, they've expounded in the comics with a kid for Eddie. Sha Shan has moved on to government work as well, so if the Spidey and Venom universe is to be all inclusive, we'll have to wait and see where it all winds down the relationship trail. For sure we like the action, and quality to the characters always needs to happen!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Midway!" Integral to the situation of Vietnam, which this comic features Flash Thompson's plight in the war, there are the tales of compassion. While the world of comics tried to find love in the balance for the high cost that some had to pay, comics also told of the avenues and attitudes involved!

1st appearance of Hammerhead. Doctor Octopus appearance. That Hammerhead is one mean hombre! Similar to Flat-top in Dick Tracy, we've got the flat head and big forehead. Also similar, is the fact it seems to be a gangster motivated villain, that gets around! All we need is a tommy gun and a brief case and we've got a spy tech thriller. Spidey's sarcasm goes over like a lead balloon and makes the straight-talking Hammerhead furious. Not willing to play the game of tag with the Spider-man, old Hammerhead goes in for the headbutt. Ka-plow! Those webs better hold old hot head to the rafters. In only 6.5, which is fine +, but I'll take it. Gives you the chills to think of the idiosyncrasy that was this time for comics, relative to the period that they take place and represent. The early 70's speaks back to television, such as Scooby-Doo, "Where are you?" A bunch of quirky fun! $83 Cost.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Bad Times at the El Royale!" Gangsters were everywhere at this time of publishing, and the movie takes place as a similar in picture time period piece. Brazen are the gangsters that aren't afraid to show their face or usual hide outs! Enter Hammerhead!

1st appearance of the Punisher (Frank Castle) and the Jackal. Signature Series by Stan Lee. Mark Jeweler insert and one of the first 4 books I got signed on 6/4/16. I dropped them all off at the Fan Expo Dallas 2016, which was my first bigger comic con. A 3.0, but with white pages. Many years from now, I hope mine is still as unique as it is today, no matter the grade! A great story, as the Punisher thinks Spidey is the bad guy. At the behest of a character named the "Jackal" there is seemingly information that is being fed to the Punisher, to get him to try to take the Amazing Spider-man down. Fast on his feet, Spidey escapes the bullet meant for him, among rooftops and talks some smack! Not to be out done the book wraps up as a plan foiled, but maybe foiled for another day, which means coming to terms with new enemies and friends.
Long ago, but not as long ago as you'd like to think. Painting a picture that is nice on paper but takes training and much responsibility in the realities of life.
Complete with a back cover picture of the ongoing adventures involving the Punisher, in gallery statue form. Hoping always to protect, and yet casualties happen, all in a day's work! Some grim exiles to last see the Punisher before their demise! Such a dynamic personality that spoke to the times. $467 Cost.

Punisher cameo. Cameo in a 2nd Appearance? Maybe it is more the 1st appearance of the Tarantula, and some details are needed to stop him. I enjoyed reading this issue. With the Tarantula Party crashing a boat and Peter Parker on board with his mates, it shapes the story. Not knowing how to secretly become Spider-man to stop the jewelry theft, chaos ensues. With a Punisher cameo, until the end he still wants to find the Spidey or the Tarantula and lay it all down for the web-crawler! Harry has been listening and putting a puzzle together, will this further his ambition? A lovely Very Fine Plus copy, glad to have added it, as I had speculated on it a bit. I bought this at a smaller con in Irving, Texas, early on when coming back to collecting for like $10. It looked in great condition and I had a gut feeling that it contained a Punisher appearance. I wasn't sure at the time being really new back to the hobby, and I mainly bought it to find out, at the time. I also bought another yellow cover with it, in 2017, an X-force #11 that came back CGC 9.6. Believe it or not they were both from the same price $10 BIN back then! $103 Cost with slab.
Same day as the weigh-in, which was held next door to this prescreen, for the boxing match between Mike Tyson and the youtuber Jake Paul. The Cobra Kai cast even attended the match.
Complete with a back cover picture of the "screen for photos", featuring an Assassins Creed outfit where it looks like a shell-back TMNT, and with a Ralph Macchio and William Zabka guest appearance, at the prescreen before released publicly of, "Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2!" In the film as well this issue of Amazing Spider-man the kicks fly but not without acting in haste and repenting in leisure. It takes the will to survive this world, and when calling it as you see it to make sure there is something still worth fighting for, after all the time to do good, make good, and keep it well enough off in this world of cobras or tarantulas.

1st Harry Osborn as the new Green Goblin. Could it be? Something begins anew. Almost picking up right where the old ends, Harry Osborn believes that he has a cause. A reason to strike at Peter Parker and Spider-man and to maybe even let the cat out of the bag on the secret identity. These are tough emotions for both Osborne and Parker to process. One is going maniacally out of control and down a spiral, while they are both helpless. Parker tries to strike some kind of peaceful bond, and that may work for a while. The inevitable is coming, it appears that it has been here the whole time. Only waiting to come to the surface. Harry continues a time-honored tradition for his family and circumstances, by making a big deal out of something small. All those small things have now added up to something more than he can handle. It's a hard knock life! $307 Cost.
Complete with a back cover picture of, "The Green Goblin!" Many have dawned a costume and cause, but to their own demise. From the Marvel Masterpiece Collection by Joe Jusko book four of four!

Origin and 1st appearance of Mindworm, (William Turner) another "Marvel", and this worm has an egg head! Everyone has an ego, and if you're not careful, it'll ruin your life. It's nice to have ambition, but to have it properly placed is the key to being a super-hero! The Mindworm just tries to stick a plot device in that craw and have Spidey scrambling. He's set the stove to broil and wants to either; make you work for it or go around like a chicken without a head. Tricky worms that confound aren't all that easy to write for, nor portray. Is this the end of the story? With a little book knowledge, we'll see. As tightly wound Spidey has his motives or emotions shaken not stirred! A bit of a sticky wicket now as of 2023 with a modern type of story, with the writers' strike touching emotions along with nerves! It bears remembering that these are of a time and era where emotions ran high, and decisions were made to determine work completion in films among other media. Some good came of it, but that was a long story affecting all areas seemingly, and in the end, it gets restored but to what end is the point.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of the movie "The Creator!" A fictitious story? An "A.I." story at least with the unyielding need to have the wielding like mechanisms truck the plot with Mindworm "beings" that muck things about! There was a message with purpose detailed in the psyche of emotion. An especially modern tale with a trek across the META, similar to the Book of Eli movie and ASM #138 that see at what cost we are able to keep our chill. We see if "artificial intelligence" can muster the stamina. Creepy! I'll have no truck with those kinds of plots! $70 Cost.

Punisher & Nightcrawler appearance. 1st appearance of Jigsaw (William Russo) & Doctor Marla Madison. Two 1st appearances for the price of ONE! William Russo was seemingly portrayed in the Punisher Netflix seasons, and he captivated the role by bringing a set of creepiness to it. Jon Bernthal wasn't a bad actor as the Punisher either, and here in the comics Frank Castle is coming to terms with just what is "Jigsaw!" Who tends to think that the cause of everything wrong in his life is due to the Punisher. While it may mostly be true, actions have consequences and God help us! Complete with a 1st appearance of Dr. Marla who has come to help, but for how long? It is somewhat a Soap Opera at first, until the feelings get hashed out, then it is an all-out brawl of a conspiracy! The Punisher who is Frank Castle even has somewhat a beef with Spider-man and Nightcrawler on the cover! Jigsaw had an ugly mug and got it in an ugly way; such is that life that turns to naught.
Nobody too, as in No Bodies are found at the parks and recreation zoo, and where the heroes somewhat called find themselves with dues to pay and thwart the thrill rides.
Complete with a back cover picture of the insides to this issue featuring the 1st Jigsaw from an under copy, and "Escape from New York!" Portrays what it must feel like to evade the Punisher with the clock ticking and it all on the line. These stories and the premise of the bigger stick, it's what made many an era!

1st Appearance of Will O' The Wisp! (Jackson Arvad) Spider Slayer Appearance. A Keith's Comics find, for $55 a bit pricey, still a great find! Awesome that Keith's is getting some CGC Slabs, and every little bit helps during the time when getting to the LCS can be hard to manage. The Spider Slayer lives in infamy, J Jonah Jameson is back at it! Also, Ross Andru Art! Len Wein Story!! Those Spider-Slayers revisited, but who is running the show? Spidey better start networking and making detective connections. He has a trusted few and keeps up the favors. He has performed a few himself but keeps his slate clean as to not compromise his honor or hero ship, which is a fine line to try and walk. The earth is filled with newcomers who have tried but ended up only trying their own patience. Choosing a winner happens when you no longer need to do so and not by chance! A rest that comes when peace is multiplied, in hearts and minds, and a Prince of Principles!
Complete with the back cover picture of issue #168 the 2nd appearance of the Will O' Wisp as a reader low grade copy, which I picked up at the in the $1 bins at Keith's soon after. Time flies when collecting, but the need to read is sometimes a motif to stay on top of what is in style. What can stay in the collection? Consecutive appearances are a hint to the way I collect! I don't often mention that, but it's true! 1sts, 2nds, then 3rd appearances. It beats a trade paperback, that way I don't spoil it all at one time, ha! $55 Cost. Comic Insides! Why Not!? But from this issue and still sidelined next issues cover, raw, dog!

1st Black Cat! My brother bought this for me for my birthday 2020, so grateful, the Lord will provide. Blessings from family do mean a lot! The portrayal of the thievery by the "Black Cat" has got some humble beginnings. Is it right to do something wrong, but for the "right reasons?" See the Cat struggle with Parker's answers! Spider-web thickens. Too much of a woman for the "mild manner" Parker? He'll show her what for soon, the infamous kissing's and becoming of friends, in comics and cartoons. With movies, it'll be the showboat to boot for Mary Jane. Got to keep the plots coming and let them be done correctly, with thoughtfulness and foresight! Peace and comfort may set in, in spirit, then it is enough to carry out your actions and not depending on others capacity to see it. Knowing in yourself that it is and will be great! Try and try again!
Long ago, but not as long ago as you'd like to think. Lol Black Cat always had a kerfuffle type of scarf around her neck, her type of chains. Furries.
Complete with a back cover picture of the Black Cat that set off a trend of villains, some turned good, and others were punished for the evil they portrayed and represented. These are pictured here in an uncut card sheet. Since CGC encases cards now, I'll add a few as the back cover picture. $133 Cost.

"Fake Death" of Aunt May and the 1st Debra Whitman appearance! A ploy? A ruse? It affects the emotions and tugs on the reader to play detective and come up with some answers of who done it? Keep tuned wall crawlers! With any permanent death of Aunt May in the future, it will have to be further enough down the road to still make an impact. This is the story that prepared the way, but it was long gone down the road before anything so awful happened to Peter. Maybe that is part of the reason Peter Parker was able to hang on and make friends. His Trusted Aunt May was always there, and his responsibility isn't taking a vacation, he just doesn't ever want the death to be his fault. Not putting a burden on a character that is too much to bear is difficult, because they're superheroes! They can reflect life, and the over abundant material can seem convoluted. We need certain walls, that are only broken in case of emergency. $70 Cost.
Wristbands carve out stamps for prescreens.
"Poster's Galore!" Thank you, Mr. Bond, James Bond!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Upside!" This movie shows the plight of the disabled and or old, their dependence on others, and that it takes a special person to stay on the upside of life! Peter Parker often had to weigh helping Aunt May and staying loyal, while she always wanted him not to worry and even marry!

1st Appearance of Moses Magnum, and while it is the 3rd "full" appearance of the Punisher, there was a cameo type in between the 1st and 2nd full appearance, which the cameo is in ASM #134. This particular copy of GSSP #4 has no Mark jeweler insert for this issue. Sigh! My Mark jeweler run ends at 3 with the 1st full appearance issue then the cameo, along with the 2nd full appearance issues. That, however, is too be expected, as bound books such as these rarely have "inserts." I've read this issue as it is action packed! Spider-man and the Punisher make nice in this story to realize who the real enemy is and team up! Frank Castle and Spidey have a plan! Moses Magnum behind well supplied sentries and a fortified dwelling, where Magnum is stockpiling weapons! Punisher takes aim, Spidey isn't in for the kill, and figures to talk old Mr. Castle out of shooting the enemy. The whole place goes up in flames and the Punisher, did he get his way? Spidey stays to the end and double checks.
