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!

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)

And here we get… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #39 (1966)
