Tangent: I read recently that Kevin Eastman had finally concluded selling his stake in TMNT to Laird, but reserved the rights to a few specific issues.  One of them was #33, by Corben -- a fitting one for Eastman to keep in his belt since he now owns Heavy Metal.

Do you remember where you read this? I'm fascinated by stories about Kevin Eastman losing all his turle money.

Seeing the disappointment on his friends' and colleagues' faces at the end over what looked like a dick of a thing to do when in fact he actually saved the day...that's Spider-Man for you.

I wonder if Ditko intended that to be a metaphor for objectivism. With great responsibility, indeed.

You guys are talking about this, right:



I think this issue has been "homaged" dozens of times. I remember reading something about Ditko improvising most of those scenes, that Stan Lee just specified he lifts the machine off of himself and Ditko turned into a multi-page struggle. Can't seem to find any evidance of it now, though.

Anyway.  Gwen was always a smart girl and a bit of a science geek, and part of the point of her role here is to serve as a role model for the little girls in the audience. 

That's true. I must have been thinking of MJ.

How many episodes have aired so far? I caught one with the Lizard last weekend and I thought it was OK. I wasn't really paying attention, though. The two things that impressed me the most was that it had an actual theme song with words and everything and that Peter Parker looks like Scott Pilgrim.

Why does Gwen Stacy look like a nerd? Or is it going to be like one of those teen movies where she lets down her hair and takes off her glasses and it turns out that her outer beauty also matches her inner beauty?

Damn, Denny O'Neil looks old. I thought he was Bob Kane.

FYI, Kane passed away in '98.

I stand by what I said.

Dan Didio, tool or king of tools?

I always read his name as "Dan Dildo" if that's any indication.
