Gerry Conway is writing Amazing Spider-Man now! Under his pen we’ll see the deaths of both Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn… but not just yet. Let’s take a look at what Harry gets up to in these issues. Not a whole lot, his character is on the backburner after his drug addiction and rehab, but… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #112-114 (1972)
Harry’s mustache has gone, the Vietnam War is still raging, and we’re slowwwly moving towards the death of Gwen Stacy. Harry appears briefly in ASM #83, seeing Flash off. MJ gives him a big kiss on the lips, but isn’t she supposed to be Harry’s girlfriend? Things are not good in Harry-MJ town. Harry looks… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #83-87 (1970)
It is 1969, we’re onto issue #74 of ASM, and Harry has grown a mustache! He’s obsessed with it. Peter is worrying about Dr Connors and far too busy to focus on a little thing like his friend’s culturally problematic facial hair. (Little history of Fu Manchu for you there.) Harry’s reaction here is so… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #74-82 (1969): The Mustache Saga!

While Spider-Man fights Medusa and angsts about his breakup with Gwen, Norman’s… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #62-66 (1968)

Here, let Harry fill ya in. Harry drives… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #61 (1968)
Peter just returned from a period of amnesia, greatly relieving his friends and Aunt May who was virtually at death’s door throughout all of it. So now, in issue #59, Peter reunites with Harry and the two are totally cool again. The use of “Pumpkin eater” there is kinda ironic, isn’t it? MJ’s got a… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #59-60 (1968)
Where were we? In the last couple of issues Harry had fallen out with Peter, but then he suddenly ups and disappears. Now, in issue #57, Harry’s starting to worry and feel guilty.

Things between Harry and Peter become strained in these issues! Uh… well, we ain’t seen nothing yet when it comes to that.
