Spidey Artist Screws Up The Web Shoot

Marvel Super Heroes #14: in 1968, Spider-man artist John Romita sprained his wrist. So they commissioned Ross Andru to sub. Luckily, Romita was still able to make his deadline. So ASM never missed a beat. But, they had the extra issue that Andru drew. So they put it in Marvel Super-Heroes #14. Trouble is, Andru seems to have forgotten how to draw Spidey's web shoot. Look at his hands. He's supposed to be pressing a button in the palm of his hand with his middle finger(s). True Spidey aficionados will see the glaring mistake in the palms.

Mary Jane's Hair Returns

ASM 82: MJ's hair returns to normal, with no apparent comment or explanation. She had cut it incredibly short in issue 64, and it appeared that way in the November 1968 issue of Spectacular Spiderman, published the same time as ASM 66.

Gwen Stacy's Father Critically Injured

ASM 90: Unbelievably, Stan Lee decides to kill off the first of a key figure in the Spider-man story. A total shocker. Captain Stacy had begun to play a role in Peter's life that was similar to what his Uncle Ben had played. At least, it was heading that way: he was acting as a father figure as Peter dated Gwen. True to form, Parker's innocent, yet reckless, approach in single-handedly confronting evil in public wherever and whenever he can -- because, to him, it is his duty -- led to a set of unpredictable events, resulting in the death of Gwen's father.

Captain Stacy Knew Who Spider-Man Was

ASM 90: Although we are not exactly sure when he found out -- could have been very recently or perhaps quite a few issues ago -- Gwen's father reveals, at death, who Spiderman is.

Captain Stacy Dies

ASM 90: Who knew that this would end up being the smaller of the two main tragedies to come?
