Welcome back superhero enthusiasts, 1980s arts and culture enthusiasts, Spider-Man fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1985 to examine a small part of the Marvel Comics shared universe through a tale of the Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man monthly series.

The first two chapters of the murder of Jean DeWolff really impacted not only Spider-Man but also Daredevil and the city of New York. Issue #107 was the start and the search for answers started with a good amount of mystery and suspense. In issue #108, the plot thickened somewhat and Spider-Man encountered the Sin-Eater with lots of bystanders nearby. Since the start, the creators crafted a compelling tale with a heavy touch of detective storytelling.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #109, published in 1985 by Marvel Comics with a story written by the late Peter David and the late Rich Buckler.

Early story

The story begins with the news of the violent death of a reverend being reported on television. The local authorities believe that the victim’s concern for criminals – a concern shared by the late judge Horace Rosenthal – marked him as a target of the Sin-Eater. While the news broadcast goes on, Peter Parker talks to Stan Carter as Spider-Man on the phone (with a cloth on the mouthpiece to distort the sound of his natural voice). Other people who saw the news broadcast are affected in different ways and there is the feeling of dread clouding the city.

In the evening, Wilson Grant Fisk (the Kingpin) dictates into his small recorder. While dictating and recording, the Kingpin knows Spider-Man is hiding in the dark very close to him. He fires a shot at Spider-Man who easily evades it. As the webslinger starts talking to him, the Kingpin reminds him that he is trespassing…

Quality

Right from the start, this tale not only maintained the gritty detective story tone since issue #107, it continued to build-up the tension and intrigue smoothly as the story went on. At this stage of the storyline, Spider-Man and Daredevil are both doing detective work to find out who the Sin-Eater really is and why precisely has he been killing people and causing chaos in the first place.

Both superheroes encountered different people in their respective searches for answers. Because he was not successful finding details as Daredevil, he decides to do it in his civilian form as Matt Murdock. Spider-Man, who is not a professional detective at all, continues his search with his limitations and with the only ways he knows how (including the use of violence, humiliation and threats).

Without spoiling the plot, I can say that there two notable plot turning points that are really fine payoffs to the build-up that started since issue #107. What happened here was finely dramatized by the David-Buckler duo and easily justified the cover price.

Conclusion

Considering the very strong qualities of the writing and visuals combined with the two major plot developments, Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #109 (1985) is easily the most compelling part of the death of Jean DeWolff storyline. I should also state that Spider-Man and Daredevil are the key detectives of the tale and the creative team succeeded again in shaping this detective story to be very grounded with reality. The superhero elements are still present but noticeably contained with the brooding detective story. As to the two plot turning points I mentioned earlier, I encourage you all to grab a copy of this comic book and find out for yourselves. I promise you, they are worth your time and attention

Overall, Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #109 (1985) is highly recommended.

A Look Back at Amazing Spider-Man #363 (1992)

Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research. Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author. Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A.

Welcome back superhero enthusiasts, 1990s arts and culture enthusiasts, Spider-Man fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the mid-1990s to examine a small part of the Marvel Comics shared universe through a tale of the Amazing Spider-Man monthly series.

Issue #362 was a compelling read on its own. The creators had the difficult tasks of having Spider-Man and Venom in conflict once again, have the two stop fighting each other and then agree to join forces together to go up against Carnage who was simply too dangerous to be left free. Having read a lot of comic books showing Spider-Man and Venom in conflict with each other, to see them become partners was really alienating.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at Amazing Spider-Man #363, published in 1992 by Marvel Comics with a story written by David Michelinie and drawn by Mark Bagley.

Early story

The story begins inside the office of Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson and Carnage has him cornered. The symbiote-wearing murderer does not give a damn about Jameson’s importance in the city and he throws him across the room to hurt him a lot. Suddenly, editor-in-chief Robbie Robertson enters the office with an assistant and Carnage notices them.

Elsewhere in New York, Spider-Man and Venom (both previously encountered Carnage after arriving in the city) swing their way through the city towards the Daily Bugle. While traveling, Spider-Man finds it very odd that he has partnered with his mortal enemy to go after the sociopathic murderer Carnage who does not even have the twisted conscience of Venom.

As Spider-Man mentions the need to call the Avengers for assistance, Venom rejects it and reminds him of the freedom promised to him when the mission against Carnage is over. Privately, Spider-Man begins to regret the arrangement with his mortal enemy.

The two arrived at J. Jonah Jameson’s office only to discover they are too late. Robbie Robertson tells them that the monster – Carnage – took Jameson with him going somewhere south and it wanted a large group of people to witness something…

Quality

To be clear, this comic book marks the end of the 3-part storyline that started with issue #361 (Carnage’s deadly debut). Similar to the previous issue, David Michelinie carefully set up scenes to build-up not only the tension for the inevitable final conflict with Carnage, but also to emphasize the moral and legal complications of Spider-Man’s team-up with Venom (who has been convicted by the justice system). That said, there was this very notable moment in which law enforcers wanted to apprehend Venom but Spider-Man intervened by taking responsibility on his behalf and pointed to Carnage as the greater danger to society.

Carnage in this comic book is really unhinged, obsessed with death and has no morals whatsoever. He has Jameson as his hostage and does not care about the lives of those who got in his way. In his insane mind, having a great audience for his bloody plan was a priority here and he shamelessly tries to connect with members of audience who share his cold-blooded ways. The insanity and unrelenting violence of Carnage are heavily emphasized here which only added to the tension of the final conflict.

The final conflict here is very action-packed and intense. Visually, this is one of the finest works of Mark Bagley in 1992 and he really delivered the spectacle big-time here. Not only that, Bagley brought Michelinie’s script to life which made the personal encounters between Spider-Man, Venom and Carnage very lively to see.   

Conclusion

Amazing Spider-Man #363 (1992) is undoubtedly a powerful conclusion to the 3-part storyline that started in issue #361. Carnage’s personality and unrelenting violence has been clearly defined here and he easily eclipsed Venom when it comes to being evil and murderous as a super villain. Spider-Man here is desperate to stop Carnage and yet he maintained his sanity to focus on the mission while ensuring the protection of civilians and doing some restraint on his enemy-turned-partner Venom (who has violent impulses). The build-up is powerful and the same can be said about the pay-off. While the conclusion is expected, this comic book raises questions about Spider-Man’s honor and what he morally lost when he became so desperate he made very risky and very questionable decisions along the way.

Overall, Amazing Spider-Man #363 (1992) is highly recommended!

Hey, trying out the new #Mastodon share feature from #wordpress or #jetpack or whatever they're calling themselves now. :P
I wish I had the energy to do more creative work right now than just this show, but it is a lot of fun to stay in touch with one of my old #collegeradio buds and geek out about #spiderman. It feels like we're just screaming into the dark most of the time, but we have fun virtually hanging out, if nothing else.
