@Rick Morgan — I wasn’t gonna say it, but I was thinking the same thing!
@Evan Berry , I have read them all but these panels have the same effect on me. I actually have a scan of another panel from this same book as one of my wallpapers.
Such a great issue and so many double entendres. Peter does not know if he wants a lick or not, but MJ definitely does.
@Adam — These panels always inspire me to go back and read some older issues. I wish I could say that I’ve read them all, but I’d be lying if I said I had.
One of the best issues of this era.
The true MJ shines through here…they’ll be moments where she finds Peter impossible, but those moments do pass, and she then achieves the impossible.
No wonder this is one of J.R.’s favorite issues.
