That was JJJ's dad?!? How frickin' old is the guy? 90? ( And none of that shit belongs in a Spider-Man comic).

From what I recall she was concerned about him never being in when she phoned/visited. A lot of the supporting cast dismissed it as typical Peter Parker flakiness (because they don't know he's secretly Spider-Man).

Has J Jonah Jameson's age ever been disclosed?
I hear he appeared in an issue of Sgt Fury, but then so did Reed Richards. He seems like he's in his 40s or 50s to me.

Has J Jonah Jameson's age ever been disclosed?•• When Roger Stern and I were doing CAPTAIN AMERICA in the late Seventies, we flashed back to a young Jonah as a reporter getting one of the first photos of Cap in action. That would have been about 40 years earlier, and assuming Jonah to be in his early 20s at the time, that would have put him in his 60s in "present day" Marvel. Which seems about right given the apparent age of his adult son.

I didn't find the scene with Aunt May and Jonah Sr objectionable. It was a good gag, and the worst we see is May's naked shoulders.
*********
SER: Primal scene is a "great gag" in comics? And that's also the "to be continued" splash? Rather than, you know, a villain looming over the hero?
I recall the Spider-Man/Catwom... er Black Cat relationship was suitably "hot" when I was a kid without overtly stating that they were physically intimate. Of course, I tend to think most sex scenes are gratuitous (LAST TANGO IN PARIS and BASIC INSTINCT being two exceptions).

That page is actually from a 1962 Strange Tales (#97).

•• I slipped a very subtle reference to that story into the first issue of CHAPTER ONE.

Yeah, yeah I'd say that is pretty strange.

I missed it, I'm going back. How cool!
When did you hear about this Strange Tales story, JB?

I remember reading that Ben and May story as a back up in Spiderman issue with Ka-zar.
The unanswered question is: did Lee or Ditko say "that was a nice couple in that mermaid story" and knowingly dust them off, or did they just forget and consider Uncle Ben and Aunt May as stock names/characters?
