From "Spectacular Spider-Man" 199. Harry has just been released from the Vault. It’s amazing how much emotion Sal Buscema put into each person’s face. From Liz’s denial, Harry’s evil smugness, Mary Jane’s anger and Normie being…Normie.

Too bad everyone at that party eventually found out anyway. Gwen included if you count her clone.

Wow, they look like … mature adults. What a concept!
Wow, early on Normie was ripping apart Spider-dolls…creeper!
Boy do I miss our pal Sal. Same goes for DeMateis.
Ah, the good old days. And again, I itterate how much older and natural the characters look here. It’s a humbling feeling to know we’ll never see that again…outside of some awesome weekend Daily strip artwork anyway
The sense of humour in Spider-Man in the 90s was brilliantly done…much more subtle and underplayed, not pointed at the reader . MJ’s remarks, Liz being visibly terrified and Normie bashing the doll while Harry’s having a good time sells it utterly deadpan. I wish dark comedy in comics (which is back to “Laugh at our dick’n’fart jokes, LAUGH I TELL YOU”) actually let the darkness speak for it again.
TRIVIA: The central storyline this scene comes from involves the original X-Men line-up, a Z-list villain called Professor Power, a flying castle, fruity romanian guards…and Peter getting caught “streaking”
It’s the 1990s. I don’t have to explain it.
