Amazing Spider-Man Newspaper strip Appreciation Thread

[Miles To Go]

Peter's facing off against Iron Fist at the hospital. Seems this is their first meeting in the newspaper canon.

The iconic superhero’s 1980s-era newspaper strip is the one major part of his adventures that has not been reprinted. Now saved from the dustbins of ephemera for all of the Wall Crawler’s fans in this deluxe hardcover series.
The woebegone web-slinger encounters problems that make Dar Harat seem like a sewing circle–if he can escape from their clutches, that is! Daily Bugle writer Jenny Sue Saxon arrives and falls for Peter Parker while trying to become Spider-Man’s biographer, even as Aunt May faces financial ruin in a very modern kind of bank heist. Mary Jane returns just in time to learn an important secret–and to introduce Peter to her Uncle Spencer Watson (what, no Aunt Anna?). Spidey’s reputation is under fire when he’s accused of pushing drugs. It’s not for the squeamish! And in a story that rivals the classic “drug issues” of Spider-Man’s comic book, Stan Lee addresses one of the most heart-rending problems of modern times: child abuse.

Peter almost broke his hand going up against Iron Fist, rofl.

If he were Deadpool, he'd be yelling "AH, CANADA" right about now

Jimmy Wuu's old nemesis The Golden Claw is the one behind his attack

The Spider-Man Crawlspace is doing an interview Friday with Bruce Caladwell, the Assistant editor from the Library of Comics series in charge of the current reprint series, currently up to the mid 80s. This would be an opportunity for anyone who has any questions about the project, or who just might want to express their appreciation.

I'd like to know why there's never been another adaptation of a newspaper strip arc in the Spider-Man cartoons. There was one for the FOX animated series based off "The Mutant Agenda" storyline which co-starred Beast, and the strip character of Landon was used as a series regular in the Kingpin's employ for several more seasons.

Today Peter starts bragging to Iron Fist that he's fought the likes of Doc Ock and the Green Goblin, and asks who the 'Fist has beaten other than maybe some jaywalkers. Iron Fist asks if he's ever heard of the Hand, and an unimpressed Peter asks if he gave "him" a knuckle sandwich...Peter thinks The Hand is one guy and not a league of assassins!

[McFarlane's Green Hulk]

Glad there was enough support to warrant a 5th volume.
I'm just about done with volume 4...

Rofl, Danny is a little perplexed...he's revealed his identity to Peter, but Peter's not even heard of his civilian guise as head of a multinational. Rand points out he was profiled in the Wall Street Journal, and Peter remarks that his subscription lapsed!

The Spider-Man Crawlspace podcast interview with Bruce Canwell is now available.

It was nice seeing Peter write up a big feature article on Iron Fist (making sure to omit the fact that Spidey helped him so as to maintain his cover, as Jameson's cameo recently revealed he still thinks Spider-Man is operating in Florida), however Robbie wants to know who ordered the attack on Jimmy Wuu and Peter's wondering to himself why he did'nt at least mention the Golden Claw in the article.

This week seems to be a gift for Spidey fans, as a troubled Peter decides to phone MJ and talk to her about the guilt he's feeling over exposing Iron Fist. MJ tells him he's more worried by the fact he wasn't comfortable with revealing his identity to Danny. Peter teases his wife asking how she can read minds over the phone.

Robbie asks Peter to check out a marital arts studio in the city run by Colleen Wing as it has ties to Iron Fist. Peter tells him he feels bad for intruding on Fist's privacy, Robbie responds with "like how you kept invading Spider-Man's privacy?", rofl

[Miles To Go]

So Wing is now trying to kill Peter with a few of her lady friends, and Peter calls them "Red Sonja wannabes", nice little nod there to the Conan character that's twice possessed MJ.

So Golden Claw is less interested in who Peter is (he thinks he's noone) and more interested to find he is married to MJ
