A few thoughts on Amazing Spider-Man #4
It would of made sense for Pete to just tell Liz he had to work that night. It would of been a better excuse than the one he ended up giving her. Plus it would have been true!
The reformed version of the Sandman is the one I started with, so in my head thats the default version. I miss him.
In my head the Daily Bugle is a legitimate newspaper. Jonah is a good news man and Robbie Robertson also plays a huge part in that. He’s no “yes man” and is good at curbing Jonah’s anti-Spider-Man insanity (well, as much as is humanly possible). I think as long as a reader of the Bugle ignores the Spider-Man stuff, its a good paper.
Tales of Suspense #45
As you can see, back in the 1960’s leaders in the Military-Industrial Complex had not yet reached the type of power held by Jazz Club owners.
