De Falco and Frenz:  Now there's a run on Spider-man that I miss.  Wish they were doing one now and we could all forget about OMD, BND, OMG, whatever.

My brother (who's 8 years older) had a run form the late 180's to the early 200's. I remember Wolfman and Pollard. I picked up the first appearance of Hobgoblin at a flea market and went on to collect Spider-Man myself,starting right before the black costume's first appearance. I merged our collections when he gave up comics but I sold my entire Spider-Man collection to a kid when the first movie came out. What I wouldn't give to rewind that day and change things. I did go back and re-buy many of my favorite Amazings when I got back into comics (especially Stern/JRjr and DeFalco/Frenz) but it has been expensive.

Apart from Hobgoblin's 1st appearance most of his appearances are at a reasonable price. After reading them in French more than 20 years ago I've recently treated myself with the originals. Try here:

Hey Don

RE: There is no "natural consequence" when it comes to fictional characters

FOR YOU

RE: Their marriage was a boneheaded mistake too.

FOR YOU

RE: the marriage wasn't a well thought out decision

NEVER CARED, T'WAS ROMANTIC TO ME

RE: admitting your own didn't begin until after the marriage.

ACTUALLY, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CHARACTER WITH ASM 257 (MJ says "I know you're secretly SM") , PETER PROPOSES IN ASM 290

RE: Someone who jumped in during the Clone Saga could make the claim that Ben Reilly taking up the mantle was a "natural consequence."

EXACTLY. SINCE PETER HAD LEFT THE BOOK, AT THE TIME, IT WAS. FOR A NEWER READER, IT WAS TOO. LOVED THE CLONE SAGA, WITH AND SANS PETER.

RE: Ditto Sins Past

IF A NEW READER LEARNS THAT STORYLINE IS BASED ON A 70's DEAD CHARACTER HE / SHE DOESN'T CARE. YOU AND I MINDED AND WERE SAD (ON THAT WE AGREE). I'D FORGIVEN JMS CUZ HE'D BROUGHT BACK MJ (Parker :-) ) AFTER JB "KILLED" HER IN ASM 13.

RE:  I always love it when fans justify any stupid change to a character by saying it was the status quo when they began reading, therefore, it's legitimate

'STUPID' CHANGE: FOR YOU

LEGITIMATE FOR A NEWER READER: YES. DON'T TELL ME YOU WERE THERE WHEN ACTION COMICS 1 CAME OUT. YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN A NEW READER TO SOMETHING. WILL YOU BLAME A YOUNGER READER FOR HAVING MISSED DECADES OF CONTINUITY? HIS 1ST READ IS A MEMORY HE/SHE CHERISHES. WHY SPOIL HIS/HER FONDEST MEMORY?

RE: Take that same guy and give him a wife, and at best he's a very different animal.

SO PETER SHOULD HAVE REMAINED A 16 YEAR OLD ASEXUAL VIRGIN TEENAGER FROM 1962 TIL NOW ?? Yuck.

And to conclude: you preferred the unmarried Peter for a plethora of legitimate reasons. Please accept that some people may disagree for legitimate reasons too cuz they're their reasons. Same as in real life, right?

And leave it at that.

'nuff said!

I wouldn't be reading this thread if not for those two. They're the ones who pulled me into the Marvel Universe twenty-five years ago.

"Spider-Man stop! You can't beat Firelord!"

"Wanna bet?"

Did you follow Spider-Girl's adventures by De Falco & Frenz? These were niiiice! Especially the last 3 years feat. the original Hobgoblin. He hadn't been brought back for 10 years exactly.

I've ignored Spider-Girl completely.  Again, I haven't read comics in pretty much 20 years, but when I saw SG on the rack in Borders it looked like Spider-Man was going the way of the Captain Marvel Family, Krypto, etc.  Again, not at ALL the Spider-Man I knew.  I had to turn away.

Your loss Gene. Spider-Girl reads very much like comics of old. Moreso than anything else out there.

Well, according to a M*****l Comics thread at another board, they'll already revealed the identity of the current Hobgoblin....


 INVISO TEXT (Click or highlight to reveal):
And its Kingsley

Plus they're apparently brought back Phil Urich, who was the heroic Green Goblin for a while.
