I was there. I read most of those early ones although I preferred DC in general. Spiderman back then was easily the best Marvel book.

Okay ... I figured it was something like that. You are correct on your first one about meetings though. I swear, Peter Parker's love life is more complicated than a soap opera.

That's pretty much the marvel formula, exhaustively convoluted but shallow continuity with romance between hot people, and plot twists.

I have always loved Thor, Silver Surfer, Hulk & Captain America as characters.. Don't care about the rest of the Marvel characters.. I like Ditko's run on Dr. Strange, only ended up reading it after Tom Wolfe mentioned it in Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. I prefer reading specific storylines from the mainstream comics rather than reading all the issues. Marvel did have some nice titles decades ago, like: ROM the space Knight. Warlock Dreadstar & my all time favorite 'NAM. |
Re: Comic book movies - can this really last?
Spiderman got more soap operaish after Ditko left. It had a more realistic feel under him as the focus was less on Parker's romantic life and more on his hellish high school existence and need for money with Aunt May having a heart attack every three or four months. Once Parker went to college, even under Ditko, the tone became less grim as PP became less of a loser. I liked that at the time, but in retrospect it took a lot of the edge and distinctiveness away from the series. Romita was known primarily then for drawing romance comics so his style influenced the direction the series went.

Re: Comic book movies - can this really last?
I'd say Ditko was the critics favorite, but Romita was more popular. At the time though ... I never thought about who was drawing or writing the comic books. It just wasn't important to me as a child. I simply loved the Marvel characters.

With manga my rule of thumb now is to just not read anything that runs over 10-volumes long, with a few exceptions (that may sound long but you can usually read 200 pages of a manga in around a half of an hour). When I read superhero comics now (which is really rare) it's usually just to look at the art. I tried reading one of those volumes of early Spider Man stories several years ago but the melodramatic Stan Lee-isms killed it for me pretty fast. Caption: "Spider Man swings towards the open window and..." Thought Balloon: "I must make it through that open window" Picture: Spider Man swinging towards an open window. |

So once upon a time there was a guy that liked comics, and he also was into Vespas, and wanted to somehow combine his 2 loves.

6 year + bump Dexter, solid effort.

When are they going to make movie of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl and their nemesis, Spider Lady (if Marvel doesn't sue)?
