Spider-Man / Human Torch: I'm With Stupid Storytime

I had a sudden desire to storytime Dan Slott's love letter to the classic eras of Spider-Man and the FF. It's a surprisingly good, mostly light-hearted read.

Also, half the issues turn up in any 'favorite pages' thread.

This is basically every plot hook from the 60s-70s Spider-Man condensed into one page - make money, pay bills, and make Aunt May happy.

...

...

...

If you're reading, throw in a bump now and then - auto-uploading doesn't do the trick!

...

It really was a pretty bad name.

Well, it's Johnny Storm, so... yeah, duh.

...

...

This is a callback to ASM v1 #5, where Doom offers him a partnership, trying to turn him against the FF.

...

...

Totally not an accident..

First Johnny, then Pietro... Crystal did not always have the best taste in men.

Ha, ha, second-degree burns.

Kirby Krackle!

This was written by Slott? Damn

...

Johnny seems to get smacked in the head a lot in New York.

Ah, classic Reed - the threat of death is unimportant, only data matters.

...

Maybe you don't wanna be comparing movies, Johnny...

Marvel had a surprisingly diverse collection of comic licenses in the 70s. The Microverse, Battlestar Galactica, Planet of the Apes, Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, ROM: Spaceknight...

>"I was trying to comfort you, asshole!"

...

Stilt-Man, Red Ghost, Paste-Pot Pete... not every character from the House of Ideas was a winner.

...

...

...

...

I wonder if Peotr and Magneto have ever squared off.

Damn, son.

Maybe another subject you wanna avoid there, Johnny...

This isn't hard, Johnny.
