It is 1971 and a strict code mandates what can and cannot be depicted in comics. Think like… What Disney has going on at the moment except ten times worse. No swearing, no nudity, no defying authority, no zombies, no blood, no “sexual abnormalities”, no “sex perversion”, no sex at all in fact, no excessive… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #95-98: How Harry Osborn Changed Comics Forever
Man, I haven’t done a re-read post since September! Sorry about that. As it turns out, it’s actually time for a crossover! During February-March 1970 Harry popped up in the pages of Captain America, written by Stan Lee and drawn by Gene Colan. It’s hard to work out exactly where these appearances fit in with… Read More Captain America #137-138 (1971)
So over the past few weeks I’ve written many angry tweets and posts about how Peter and Harry and even Liz have been sacrificed on the altar of making a murdering war criminal child abuser Nice, and I still think that, but Gold Goblin is actually annoyingly good. Mostly because unlike the current ASM run… Read More Gold Goblin #2
This is a post by tumblr user devoutlywished comparing Harry (specifically Raimiverse Harry) and a famous figure of Greek mythology, Electra. Who’s literally one of the father-avengers of all time! I think Harry might have a bit of Iphigenia in him too. The man is a walking, talking Greek tragedy. Isn’t it great?! (Pssst! You… Read More Harry Highlights #8
His birthday is today, the 13th of December! I don’t know the thought process that goes into picking the birthdays of established comic characters but it’s interesting that Harry’s birthday is in December and his first ever appearance was in ASM #31 – 31 being 13 backwards, and the comic’s cover date was December. (Oh,… Read More Happy birthday, Harry Osborn
I gather Dark Web is already very unpopular due to Ben Reilly’s newfound villainy and hey, it’s unpopular with me too! Yes, it’s the first issue in forever to feature Harry’s friends actually mourning him, but… Well, you’ll see. It’s nice to see the Coffee Bean and it’s nice to see Peter, Liz and Flash… Read More Dark Web #1: Cloning and Moaning
Well, here we are, the first story in over a year to feature Harry in any capacity whatsoever! This is the first issue of Gold Goblin by Christopher Cantwell and Lan Medina. As Norman tries to adjust to life as a “good guy” (mark my words, it won’t last) he finds the ghost of his… Read More Gold Goblin #1
Zarius has been putting together an unofficial Amazing Spider-Man Newspaper Strip over the past year and one of the stories is all about Harry! It’s called “The Blood Between” and you can download it as a PDF file here! The dedication at the end is particularly sweet. :)
A few weeks ago on my Raimi Spider-Man fan tumblr I created this gifset, and upon completing it I thought what I often think on completing Spider-Man Trilogy gifsets: “Man, Sam Raimi is a damn good director, isn’t he?” He’s not considered to be a very subtle filmmaker but I think the way he compared… Read More A look at Norman and Harry Osborn in the Raimi Trilogy
Here we have a gorgeous fanart depicting the journey of Harry, Peter and MJ throughout the Spider-Man Trilogy. And here’s the artist’s Instagram, which features a little extra addition to this piece!
