I remember back in the summer of 1962
when I was 12 years old, seeing that issue on the stands. I picked it out and read it, then put it back because I didn't like it.
Later, I started buying all the Marvel comics and had all the Spider-man's from #1 up, but I never did get that Amazing Fantasy. Doesn't really matter now, as I sold almost all my comics back in 1974 to buy a car. The car broke down on a trip.
Story of my life.

And I still don't like Spider-man.

You should have kept your comics Johnny.

"I don't think Brand New Day is given enough credit for how much it restored to the series."

I bailed on Spider-Man when they had Gwen give Norman Osborn a sympathy boink, so I can't speak to the quality of the series.  When you look at the sales figures, though, it's clear that Marvel has thrown away all the gains made during the JMS years through BND and shipping the title 2+ times a month.

"

If you're interested in seeing how the Clone Saga ran off the rails and you have a lot of spare reading time, you can check this out:

http://lifeofreillyarchives.blogspot.com/

Its been a couple of years since I read thru it, but it was rather informative.

I'm up to Part 23 right now.

Once I started reading it I couldn't stop. It's quite a tale and has proven - so far - to be better reading than the entire Clone Saga itself!"

 

I hadn't ever seen this before, and am engrossed with it now. Thanks for the link

When did Doom acquire The Purple Man's powers?

The green-and-purple combo also mean that could just be the Impossible Man giving Spidey and his pals a hard time!

Wow! That was a surprising, and interesting read. Thanks for the link.

I have to say after reading that that it's a shame they didn't pursue the Mary Jane was a clone plot. If the whole purpose of the clone saga was to return Spider-Man to his days as a carefree bachelor, that would seem to have been a quicker and more elegant solution that what they eventually did. Especially when it would have left them the opportunity to have continued using the original MJ in the girlfriend role. Oh well.

I'm sure that Doom image above is from Kirby's Fantastic Four. Talk about a composite cover!

Peter Martin: that Doom panel is lovely.

I know I've seen this panel and read that particular FF book multiple times over the years but this is the first time I've noticed Doom's chin vent.

Among the many parts I love? That emotive shadow over Doom's left eye.
