Spider-Man by John Romita, Jr., with Inks by John Romita, Sr., and Colors by Jose Villarrubia.
This was published as a Marvel Limited print, and I believe it was used as a poster. It has been published in multiple books as well. Johnny was interviewed by Tom Scioli and Ed Piskor for their cartoonist kayfabe youtube channel, and he mentioned that of all the work he's done over the years, this is the one that he will never sell. It is hanging in his office, next to his drawing desk.
my buddy, curtvile, shared this first. I hunted down a larger version of the images by checking out Jose Villarrubia's facebook.

4 the ask meme; the coffee bean gang? Like peter, gwen, mj, flash and harry
Least favorite thing: can you believe they put enough human interest in this cheesy 60s biff bam pow hero melodrama to actually get me to care about a biff bam pow hero melodrama
Favorite thing: can you believe they put enough pulp sci-fi nonsense in this teen drama love pentagon to actually get me to care about a teen drama love pentagon
Fanon pet peeve: I know for a lot of people it's "forgetting Flash Thompson" but I at least understand where that comes from; adaptations did it first. More puzzling is when fanon shoehorns Felicia or Johnny Storm in there. Those are Spider-Man's friends, sure, but the CBG designation is a specific subcategory where... okay, let's get into my Bean Gang Theory (bazinga!):
A prospective CBG member met Peter Parker when both parties were hormonal teens and (as many as possible of the below)
Were in a love triangle with 2-3 other members
Was roommates (homoerotic) with yet another member
Have a parent who is friends with another member's parent
Has been personally victimized by Norman Osborn for literally just existing
By this metric, the 6th bean should really be Liz Allan (love triangle with Flash and Peter, homoerotic roomates with MJ, married Harry and therefore #2 on Norman's list of people to torment). Betty Brant is sometimes included, and that scans; Glory Grant just needs to date MJ in mainline 616 as well to score her place.
You know who else should've been included? Randy Robertson. I've looped back to canon criticism now but I seriously think the time period is the only reason Romita didn't find a way to work him into the crazy college love triangle with the rest of the college era Spidey five. He's right there for a lot of it!

Spider-Man Read-Through 007: Doc Ock Strikes Again! (P1)
MASTERPOST
Annual 4 + ASM 53-61 this time!
Tumblr media
A very long post, but there's fun storylines!
So the Human Torch is running amok and unsurprisingly (comics writing), Spider-Man fights him for a bit without asking for an explanation (and the Torch doesn't give him one either) until a movie director intervenes - he was filming a movie! Spider-Man goes away, complaining that Johnny's too good of an actor - but I think the director could have hired him as well. The Torch and the Spider would sure bring people to the movies. And it's actually a plot point of the story (see next screenshots).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the opening scene, the narrator challenges the readers to figure out who pencilled this issue, and I regret to inform that I'm utterly baffled. Peter has the pretty face of John Romita Sr, but the flat ass of... did Peter ever have a flat ass? I ranted about his inconsistent ass (literally) already, but sounds like it downright downgraded here! ...Still handsome as ever, though.
So yeah, Peter is called on a film set and two characters are conspiring in the shadows and I am intrigued! So they're shooting the movie and Peter's spider-sense keeps warning him and I'm even more intrigued!
I feel like the penciller is Steve Ditko (the previous one) trying to imitate John Romita Sr's style, but maybe it's a newcomer that's promoted through this issue. Through my quick Google Search, I learned (or rather, re-learned) that 1973 and 1974 were drawn by Ross Andru and not John Romita Sr, which does make sense considering how it *is* similar to what I remember, yet a bit different too.
The Torch has gone mad and at this point, I'm starting to wonder if he's actually the Chameleon. And it appears there is truly an impostor, as Johnny's resting in his trailer.
AND SUDDENLY...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It makes sense! The actor background!!!!! Aaaaaaah I'm so hyped, didn't expect to see him!!!!! And who's that other guy?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First, thank you for the fanservice, there's never enough men in tight undershirt and underwear. Legs!!!!
But who's this Wizard?
The helpful wikia indicates that prior to his first appearance in Spider-Man comics (this very one), he was in Strange Tales (later Dr Strange) which makes sense, and also in Fantastic Four. This crossover definitely makes sense! Meanwhile Mysterio has already appeared, but it's still very nice to see him again.
Tumblr media
YES! Especially in a 40-pages issue. Let the art speak for itself.
Tumblr media
Case in point! These comics had a tendency to be *too* talkative, and it's part of the pacing of the usual 20 pages issue, but still.
Overall, I think it's a great issue! Well-paced, entertaining, surprising, fun! There's a few more pages after that.
Tumblr media
Notably this spread.
Tumblr media
I don't think they exactly knew they were still gonna be read 60 years later, but it's fun to read this in 2023. Harry calls me out, Peter looks swell as always (VERY swell), Fu Manchu and Woody Allen are here (what a time piece!) and Anna and May are acting like their usual lesbian selves. Once again, good for them!
Tumblr media
*swoons*
Tumblr media
And they mention how much the artists have to deal with perspective! Nice.
AND...!!!!
Tumblr media
YES, YESSSS, YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Yes, close your closet, Peter. Wouldn't want Harry to barge right in, would ya? *snickers* Closet jokes are always fun when you're gay.
What a stellar final page. And we learn the penciller was Larry Lieber, who returns one year later for ~the truth about Peter's parents"! I've watched The Amazing Spider-Man movies, folks, I don't think I can be surprised, but stay tuned! Oh, by the way, about Larry Lieber...
Tumblr media
Okay, that's what I figured. I thought it could be a family member.
Now then, onto the main course!
We see Octopus again, yay. Peter is notably angrier than he was in Annual 4, which makes sense if you ignore it happened, considering what happened in the previous issues.
Tumblr media
Harry's also quite annoyed, unsurprisingly. He loves his roommate, but Peter does have a tendency to be absent... Harry's irritability is similar to earlier issues, where Peter never went out with him and everybody else and seemed quite aloof. Was Spider-Man No More a return to basics?
But Peter is much more interested in bringing Gwen to a science expo, and Warren is overjoyed to see her. Oh boy...
Tumblr media
Now kiss.
At the science expo, Octopus intervenes and he still sports the worst haircut ever known to mankind. I wonder if he's stealing the nullifier to sell it to the highest bidder... Could it be Hammerhead? Or the Kingpin?
Tumblr media
Stan Lee obviously had something against me, but we're on Tumblr, and modesty shall not prevail! Who could ever think Octopus retconning "If This Be My Destiny" is more important that ogling at Peter?
So yes, Octopus does want to sell the nullifier to another nation.
More importantly, everybody recreates the coffee bar double spread from Annual 4. May and Anna are looking for a third for some nice granny baking time.
Tumblr media
PLOT TWIST!!! Look how goofy Octopus is. What a goofball.
This issue was fairly enjoyable, it had more soap than fights, which I'm all for. Dear readers, I am enthralled.
Tumblr media
I'm thirsting and also showing the humorous situation. Marivaux would be proud!
Tumblr media
Also: more Parksborn domestic love! Yeah Peter, don't let Harry see you mixing fluid... or the content of your closet!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MJ is still incredibly mean to Gwen and this is both outrageously funny but also a bit sad. Aside from this, two gays are jealous of Peter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And this is iconic. Peter's shocked face, Octopus holding the tea cup like Queen Elizabeth, "I dabble a bit in science myself"...
Tumblr media
So Aunt May dies and Peter's understandably angry and I'm HOOKED. Two great issues.
Tumblr media
The right panel speaks for itself, Harry is a great comedic character.
The action takes place at Stark Industries, but Tony wasn't paid enough to do a cameo so he lets Spidey will with this mess. And the mess gets worse, as the nullifier makes Peter lose his memories...! My jaw dropped.
Tumblr media
This is stupid, but I'm curious to see where this is going.
However, Harry keeps being annoyed at Peter and this is sad because I thought we were over this. But I wonder if it's leading to a big plot point, like Peter's friends giving up on him for a few issues.
But then.
Tumblr media
Oh. Oh no. I know where this is going.
This arc highlights once more how full of silent rage Peter really is. He's frustrated. A much more compelling character than Insomniac's Peter.
Tumblr media
And it ends with a Peter who's quite affected. I didn't expect Peter's amnesia to stick for this long though! This is very compelling stuff.
Aaaand I've gotta stop here because I can only put 30 pictures in posts. Next time: a relatable guy!

The Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 1) #73: The Web Closes!
Read Date: June 02, 2023 Cover Date: June 1969 ● Writer: Stan Lee ● Penciler: John Romita Jr. ◦ John Buscema ● Inker: Jim Mooney ● Colorist: {uncredited} ● Letterer: Sam Rosen ● Editor: Stan Lee ●
Tumblr media
**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers
Reactions As I Read: ● Spidey’s villain this issue is… Johnny Cash?
Tumblr media
● John Romita, Jr. and John Buscema are nailing the art so far in this issue! I’ve been staring at that one with the plane for a while now. the perspective is fabulous, Spidey looks amazingly fluid—especially when compared to the rigid structures of the buildings around him. slow clap ● oof the colorist really dropped the ball on the Robertsons. they look blue-gray again ● 👏👏👏👏👏
Synopsis: Spider-Man has come to the Stacy home to ask George Stacy if he can provide any clues about where the Shocker may have taken the tablet stolen from his home. After overhearing Gwen talking about Peter to her father, Spider-Man makes his presence known to Stacy, after some consideration George gives Spider-Man the only lead he can think of: The address of the Shocker's ex-girlfriend.
Spider-Man arrives at the girls house to find that it's being torn apart by Man-Mountain Marko, an enforcer for the crime boss Silvermane. As the two duke it out, another one of Silvermane's goons, Cesare Cicero bails out one of Kingpin's men to decipher the tablet. Back at the Shocker's ex-girlfriends place, Man-Mountain Marko is put on the ropes by Spider-Man. While at the Bugle, Jameson returns to work to tell Joe Robertson about the positive press his newspaper has been giving Spider-Man. Robertson tells Jameson that Jameson is entitled to write all the editorials he wants, but as long as he's city editor for the paper, he will report the facts as they are.
The fight between Marko and Spider-Man ends when Marko throws the Shocker's ex out the window, forcing Spider-Man to save her life while Marko makes off with the tablet. As Silvermane has the Kingpin's man translate the tablet, Spider-Man returns home and changes to Peter Parker where he remembers he was going to call Curt Connors at home. He learns from his wife that Connors was taken from their home a few days prior by a bunch of unknown men. Little does Peter know that Connors has been brought in by Silvermane to assist with the tablet in some way. Connors warns Silvermane that he should not be kept prisoner because it's dangerous, but refuses to elaborate.

Tumblr media
The Punisher War Zone #5
Chaotic, but fun.
“No more Johnny Tower. No more undercover secret identity 🞶&#¢ anymore. No complications. Just punish.”
Feels less like the smart Punisher stories by Baron and more like a standard Marvel comic, with a random team-up and a random amnesiac coming back for revenge. it’s fine. Lots and lots of activity, in place of a story. Shotgun feels like a wholly unnecessary addition to story. Not necessarily a bad addition, but what does he add? Same with Thorn. Still, it’ll (probably) be fun to see everyone in the same place at the same time next issue.
On Sale Date: May 12, 1992.
Total Paid Circulation: 230,142 (average #1-9).
Wizard Top 100: 21.
Chuck Dixon (5 of 11).
John Romita, Jr. (5 of 8).
6/10
