Amazing Spider-Man issue 25. Let’s forget about the fact that if Liz and Betty shaved their heads we wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. First Mary Jane from the neck down. Too bad that flower is devouring her face.

Spidey Memories#1
I’d like to introduce a new section to the front-page called “Spidey Memories”. It’s quite simple, post a panel, page or single scene from Spidey’s history and let the memories run wild. I’ll start… Remember […]
Spidey Memories#30
Some didn’t like "Secret Wars II" or the way it disrupted all the Marvel titles. Although it was excessive, if it wasn’t for the series we never would’ve been able to see Peter Parker toilet train […]
Spidey Memories#56
Peter left his microscope at Uncle Ben’s grave in “Amazing Spider-Man” issue 181. This caused some continuity problems when issue 290 came out years later.

I love this story, it is by far one of my absolute favorite issues ever of any comic book series, the fierce rivalry between Liz & Betty is always good for a few laughs, especially since they’re on the crush for “Puny Parker”
How come such a great memory isn’t a hot subject like the “Disney/Marvel” merge?
I wonder how Steve would have drawn MJ had he not left the book. Then again why question what might have been, right? Romita designed a knockout that we’ve all come to know and love.
Remembering that whole “keep what MJ looks like a secret” thing, it looks like that’s (in a way) what they failed to do with Jackpot… anybody know what I mean? (haha, I hope so.)
This is the issue that set Spidey apart from the Archie contrasts. Betty wised up and went for Ned, and Liz…she sort of began to lose relevancy right up until she fell for Harry.
Oh original continuity, how I miss you.
I don’t think they were drawn exactly alike. Betty had a slightly more round face, and their noses are different.
You missed the funnier page which preceded it, which had them awkwardly walking up to the door and scowling at each other. THAT was some funny stuff. 🙂
