But none for you, Norman. Arguably my favourite thing about Harry is that he’s a good father, or at least, as good as he could concievably be given his circumstances and the weird damn demons-and-wizards world he lives in. Harry’s relationship with little Normie constantly highlights how different a man he is from Norman even… Read More Happy Father’s Day, Harry!
Things between Harry and Peter become strained in these issues! Uh… well, we ain’t seen nothing yet when it comes to that. Starting with #53, Harry is starting to get very pissed off with his roomate’s constant absences- Gwen reminds Peter she’s a science major, but alas she’s also currently stuck being the football between… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #53-56 (1967-1968)
While doing my standard Googling for new comics news the other day I stumbled on this! There’s an adorable little dog out there named after our boy! And he so happened to be the best friend of a dog called Peter Parker! (My heart.) Peter passed away at the age of 17 :( but you… Read More Harry Dogsborn
Well, so today ASM #67 dropped and revealed nothing new about Harry’s current circumstances alas, but another comic feat. Our Boy also dropped today and it’s very interesting! This curious alternate universe is called Heroes Reborn #5, and I have absolutely no idea what’s going on. But the main character replacing Peter Parker here is… Read More Today’s comics: Heroes Reborn #5
If you’re a Harry Osborn fan, and I assume you are since you’re here and all, you might know that things are looking up for Harry’s future in the 616 comics now! Let’s celebrate with a look back at more of his early days. In #50, Peter suffers yet another blow to his life when… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #50-52 (1967)
Hello everyone! First post on the new blog! So today we’re running through issues #48 and #49, where Harry doesn’t actually do much but all his interactions are very endearing. In #48: Well THIS hits differently at this precise point in time, what with the pandemic! The emergence of Gwen’s classic look! Harry unintentionally (or… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #48-49 (1967)
Lots of things happen in this issue! Harry and Peter chat 60s-style, except of course thanks to the sliding timeline none of this ever happened in the 60s! So we’ll have to imagine what era-appropriate sex symbol Harry “really” referenced at this point. Ah this is all so sad to read fifty years on, knowing… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #47 (1967)
Now at the end of the last one of these I said, since Vietnam is coming into the story now let’s find out what Stan Lee actually thought about the Vietnam War. And that’s the thing, that information is kinda hard to find. There’s an extent to which Lee has sort of I guess been… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #44 – 46 (1967)
Well the awfulness of the current comics shows no sign of going away anytime soon, so let’s jump back into this! Where we left off, Harry’s father had just overcome his first bout of supervillainy, but it would be faaaaaar from the last. Here’s Harry’s very brief appearance in #41. Looks like his school bully… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #41 – 43 (1966)
Here we are, the fallout from last week! The Green Goblin took his mask off and revealed himself to be… Peter’s high-school bully’s friend’s dad. Not exactly a “No, I am your father” level revelation… well, not yet anyway… Peter begins by slagging off Harry, even though they’re teetering more to being almost-friends at this… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #40 (1966)
