I had no knowledge of this tale before this thread.  I would love to read this tale.  Steve Ditko's art is interesting, it always had a Twilight Zone feel that draws me into the story.

I don't know if it's real, but what a beautiful beautiful thing:



EDIT, by the by, nobody drew the Rhino as cool as JR Sr.

About the scenes posted by Greg...

Aunt May and JJJ Sr.: now THAT was disgusting. Wait. I don't mean Aunt May should be alone for the rest of her life. Personally, I enjoyed the introduction of Jonah's father, my favorite among the new supporting characters, and I found quite good an idea making him May's mate.
But... why the heck had they to show us those two in a bed together? "Hey, we want you to see Peter Parker embarassed! He just saw two old geezers together! Isn't this so 'yeuch'?".

Spider-Man and the Black Cat: I had no problems with that particular scene. Peter doesn't want to be recognized, so if he wants to sleep with Felicia, he has to wear it.

Peter and Michele: not sure I liked that, seeing Peter used as a toy by this unknown girl. Yet, this was used to start a nice subplot on the pair's love/erotic tension.  if I recall correctly, anyway, it was stated some issues later that nothing happened.


Chad: that strip is so sweet!

Sorry.  Spider-Man is my favorite superhero.  The Peanuts is my favorite comic strip.  Both have been that way for me for decades. Bar none.  That said?  I'll be a big ol' meanie and say that Charlie Brown should never get to kick the football. It's the essence of who he his.  Kick the football and he's a different guy.

Charlie Brown also got to kick the football in the 1981 animated special, It's Magic, Charlie Brown.

The PEANUTS Valentine special also showed us the Little Red Haired Girl.

Sometimes people make mistakes.

Among my first experiences with Spider-Man:




But the first was six-armed Spider-Man in 102 and then 112.

Is that actually Charles Schulz's art on the "Peanuts" strip Chad posted? Only the first panel with Lucy, and the other one where she is holding the ball in the fourth panel looks like his work to me. The other panels don't look like Schulz, though. Romita did Spider-Man, I think it's safe to assume. Did Burkey (I'm not sure who that is) do the rest?

Regardless, the PEANUTS strip above is surely not "canonical."  All in good fun... no problems with Charlie Brown kicking the football in that one.
