It was stated multiple times that 2 years passed between when Gwen Stacy died (ASM #121) and when her clone appeared (ASM #143).
This means that ASM #31-121 and ASM #143-185 must collectively account for the other 2 years of Peter’s college days.
What I want help with is working out how much of those 2 years ASM #31-121 takes place across and how much ASM #143-185 takes place across.
In the Marvel universe the rule of thumb is 4 years real time = 1 year for the characters but that doesn’t really add up when applied to Peter’s college days. Mostly because ‘Marvel Time’ wasn’t a thing at the start of the college era and ASM #121-143 just ignored it entirely.
So what do you all think?
How long was ASM #31-121 for the characters?
How long was ASM #143-185 for the characters?
