Spoilers ahead! Amazing Spider-Man #72 throws something big into the mix when it comes to Harry and Norman. And guess who’s involved? Yeah, for once it actually is Mephisto! Turns out Norman sold Harry to the devil in exchange for wealth and power, power he later used to become the Green Goblin. I’ve heard a… Read More Unpicking the retcon of Amazing Spider-Man #72
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)
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!
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
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)
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)
Well today I remembered that there’s over fifty years of comic book history to get through here, so I’d better crack on. Gwen, Flash and a random ginger kid who I don’t believe we ever see again are badmouthing Peter, who honestly has every reason to blank them at this point. And here we get… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #39 (1966)
Welcome back, true believers! Okay so the other day this happened in the spideycomicsverse and it reminded me to kick this little project back into gear. So! Last post we met Harry for the very first time and he was, to be honest, incredibly meh. But only SO FAR! Because the man who would end… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #34 – #38 (1966)
