The Silver Age sure was wacky! Spider-Man fights aliens in “Amazing Spider-Man” issue 2. Don’t worry, we’ll post the retcon tomorrow.

In the spirit of giving the people what they want, “Peter/MJ week” continues! Amazing Spider-Man issue 193 is often touted as the issue where Peter and Mary Jane break up. Really what we see above […]

This is from issue 156 of “Amazing Spider-Man”. The retcon in “Parallel Lives” said MJ knew from the start. If she knew from the start, then she is being a massive jerk here.

Yeah, I like the issue well enough – it is, after all, classic Lee/Ditko goodness – but the alien bit just always seemed ill-fitting to me. Suffice to say, I’m a fan of Stern’s retcon.
I remember reading this for the first time and wondering how any of this made any sense. Y’see, I knew of the Tinkerer, but didn’t know of the alien retcon by Roger Stern years later. That reminds me, I gotta read that sometime.
