Where we left off, Norman was slowly regaining his memories of being the Green Goblin! And that forms the basis of this new little arc for Harry. Of course, it’ll evolve into something much bigger later on… Harry pops up briefly in #62. While Spider-Man fights Medusa and angsts about his breakup with Gwen, Norman’s… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #62-66 (1968)
…. ……… …………Ah sorry, you were expecting there to be an article here? There is not. There’s no point trying to unpick ASM #73 because it makes no sense, even by the usual standards of comics. It literally reads like someone hastily threw the art together without the script being finalized or anything to hand… Read More Unpicking Amazing Spider-Man #73
What a tangled web we weave! The story so far: Peter was being menaced by the Kingpin’s goons, George Stacy was brainwashed by the aforementioned Kingpin, Gwen was distraught, and MJ had a job working at a club that was secretly a front for the Kingpin’s operations. 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)
Things between Harry and Peter become strained in these issues! Uh… well, we ain’t seen nothing yet when it comes to that.

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! The emergence of Gwen’s classic look! Harry unintentionally (or perhaps intentionally?) makes a… 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)
