Compare Mary Jane’s introduction here to Gwen Stacy’s. Not much of a competition, is it?
Mary Jane is my favorite supporting character!
She DESERVES better than what she has been scripted over the last ten years.
Her and Peter just work so well together. She’s such a strong character without super powers.
This is comic book history.
Mary Jane Mondays gives us an extra readon to smile on this hard day.
Awesome idea.
More than Lois Lane, Betty, Veronica or any other female comic book character, Mary Jane Watson showed what a non-superhero woman in Comics could be made of.
The highest Kudos to Lee, Romita, Conway, Kane and Andru.
Crawlspace rules.
I love the idea of Mary Jane Monday. Very cool.
