That was the first issue of ASM I purchased. Previously, I had bought the Marvel Tales reprint of his run-in with Black Widow, but never a first-run issue. It wasn't until the introduction of Hobgoblin that I became a regular reader, but once Roger Stern and John Romita, JR left the series -- so did I.
There is no doubt, though, that ASM 194 is a highwater mark for Felicia. It showed we wasn't some airhead, but that she did have a fun personality -- and talent.
