There’s one last task to be done before the brand new episodes start in two weeks, and that is to clear the feedback deck. I always appreciate your emails, and I want to give each of them at least some attention, so in this episode, I respond to every email and iTunes review that has come in over the last five years since episode 37 was recorded. [Editor Note: This was in the old feed, which isn’t on there anymore.] Quite a few links are mentioned in the episode. They are as follows: In future, should you wish to respond to our...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/amazing-spider-man-classics-episode-41-emails/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

This is it! This is the end of an era! But of course it is also the dawn of a new! Josh Bertone and Don Grant join Jon Wilson one last time for a look back at a classic Spidey comic, namely Amazing Spider-Man 52, and one last time they are joined by Stephen Lacey of The Fantasticast.

It’s been a long road getting from there to here. It’s been a long time, but the time is finally here for “Spider-Man No More!” There is a bit of a story behind this “lost” episode. First of all, Stephen Lacey is back with us to talk Amazing Spider-Man 50, but Fall 2011 was before he became co-host of the the world-renowned Fantasticast, and we loved having him on to talk about the issue. Sadly, though, the recording malfunctioned, and we lost the first 40 minutes of the recording, which included the iconic trash can scene from the issue. We had to get...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/amazing-spider-man-classics-lost-episode-38-asm-50/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Welcome to a double-dipping of Spidey goodness. First, the gang heads over to Daredevil 27 to see the Hornhead and the Webhead team-up against the Masked Marauder, who has decreed, “Mike Murdock Must Die!” Next, Spider-Man falls prey to Blackie Drago who attacks him “On the Wings of the Vulture!” in Amazing Spider-Man 48. It’s a big party, as Karen Page, Mike Murdock, Gwen and MJ, Anna Watson and Aunt May, and of course Harry Osborn all join in for this episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics!

The month of new #1s continues! But this time, it’s Peter Parker: Spider-Man and Webspinners that get the podcasting treatment from barely legal Jon, pubescent Bertone, and preteen Donovan! What new plot has Howard Mackie cooked up for the ex-webhead, and will the Gang ever survive the art of Michael Zulli??!!

Welcome back to Amazing Spider-Man Classics for a truly classic issue of the Stan Lee/John Romita era. We have Gwen, we have Mary Jane, we have Flash, Harry, and the ESU gang, we have Betty and Ned even though we’re not sure why, and we have Kraven the Hunter, now with 100% more LASER NIPPLES!!! And! As a special added treat, Josh and Don finally settle the question once and for all of Gwen and Flash and exactly what happened between them.

You’ve waited. You’ve sweated. You’ve sued for creator rights and fought over first place in line to see the movie! Now, here it is, folks! The next episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics, yaaaaaayyyy!!! Today, ladies and gentlemen*, we are looking at one episode of Amazing Spider-Man. We had planned for two, but one took long enough. And actually, you may see more episodes in the future with only one issue covered. I’m contemplating the ifs of a format change. So to join us for this look at Amazing Spider-Man 46 is Tyler Crone, whom you have have heard on Of...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/amazing-spider-man-classics-episode-32-amazing-spider-man-46/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

The Classics gang is heading into the summer with the weightiest question of all Spider-Man history. Did Gwen and Flash date? The answer may surprise you, Marvelites! Join Jon, Josh, and Don as they take a look at Amazing Spider-Man 44 and 45, which also, by random happenstance, also feature the return of Dr. Curt Connors as the Lizard.<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/amazing-spider-man-classics-episode-31-asm-44-45/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

This is it, folks! This is the one you’ve been waiting for! Amazing Spider-Man 42 and 43 bring us the first appearance of Mary Jane Watson, the woman Peter will ask to be his wife in the culmination of all of Aunt May’s machinations. Along for the ride, this time is Brad Douglas, webmaster of the Spider-Man Crawl Space, and it wouldn’t have been the same without him.

The Rhino’s on the Rampage, and the Avengers want Spider-Man to bring in the Hulk! In other words, just another day at the office for the ASM Classics gang! This time out, Jon, Josh, and Don are joined by Dr. Bond Benton, professor at SUNY Fredonia. He actually talks comics in class for a living, so we wanted to have him come share in the fun of classic Spidey goodness! In Amazing Spider-Man 41, Spidey is faced with the inaugural Rhino adventure, as Jonah Jameson’s son John returns from the cobwebs of Spidey’s first issue, but what’s this he says...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-29-annual-3-asm-41/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Can you believe it? We’ve made it through an entire year. And to celebrate, the Classics gang takes a break from comic coverage to take a look through the DeLorean’s rearview mirror at how the show began. But after a few minutes of that, it’s time to break out your DVD players as we watch Spider-Man (2002) with an in-film movie commentary. Hope you enjoy, and we’ll be back with regular comic coverage next episode!<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-28-one-year-anniversary-special-sam-ramis-spider-man-dvd-style-commentary/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Today’s episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics takes a look at the debut of artist John Romita on Amazing Spider-Man, a two-part adventure featuring the unmasking of Spider-Man and the END of the GREEN GOBLIN! And along the way, all our favorite angry cast members undergo a happiness makeover under John Romita’s brush.

Farewell, Steve Ditko. We hardly knew thee. This episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics wraps up the tenure of the artist who helped to create our beloved webslinger and guide him down the most formative steps of his publishing history. With the circumstances surrounding his departure being what they were, it is sadly not the best note on which to depart, but before we talk about A Guy Named Joe in Amazing Spider-Man 38, the Classics gang (continuing to be assisted by Jim Wilson of JimWilsonDesigns, my brother and this website’s designer) finishes out Johnny Romita’s Spider-baptism by fire in Daredevil 17.Original...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-26-daredevil-17-amazing-spider-man-38/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Hello there from all the gang here at Amazing Spider-Man Classics! This episode, we are back to begin taking a look at the transition from Steve Ditko to John Romita. Romita had the joys of drawing Spider-Man for a two-part Daredevil story, the end of which happened to coincide with Steve Ditko quitting Amazing Spider-Man. So in this episode, we are diving into the first part of that story, Daredevil 16, where Daredevil’s new foe, the Masked Marauder, incites some enmity between Hornhead and Webhead as part of his evil plot. Then we switch over to Steve Ditko’s penultimate outing...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-25-daredevil-16-and-asm-37/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Thanks for coming back to see us here at Amazing Spider-Man Classics. The three Classicists are all by themselves this time out for a couple of lackluster issues that bring us closer to Steve Ditko’s departure from the title. In Amazing Spider-Man 35, The Molten Man Regrets the shameful things that happened between him and the webhead before, but that doesn’t stop him from coming back for more. Then a right-out loony manages to get superpowers from some rock gas and begins looting, and thus we have the birth of the Looter. All this, and some real treats from Ditko’s...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-24-amazing-spider-man-35-and-36/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Welcome back to the show, everyone! In this latest episode, the Master Planner trilogy comes to its oh so dramatic conclusion, and Scott Gardner of the Two True Freaks! family of podcasts helps us get there. Then, Kraven is once again on the prowl, and the team is joined by Brad Douglas of the Spider-Man Crawlspace. Peter’s life takes some significant turns in these two issues, and Jon, Don, and Josh help you laugh at every one of them. Cuz that’s why they’re called COMICS!<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-23-amazing-spider-man-33-34/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

We are joined again this episode by Eddie deAngelini, comic archive researcher for With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story., as we take a look at Spider-Man’s second annual and thirtieth monthly issues of his series. Also, Brad Douglas of the Spider-Man Crawlspace sticks his head in for some emails at the beginning of the show.

Welcome again to Amazing Spider-Man Classics where this episode, Jon, Josh, and Donovan take a look at the only two-part Green Goblin story that Steve Ditko gave us. And along the way, we are aided and abetted by the one and only J.R.

We’re wrapping up September with a bang, Spider-Fans! Not only is this our longest episode yet, not only does this episode include the silver anniversary issue of Amazing Spider-Man, not only do we get to see the first (kinda) appearance of Mary Jane Watson, but also we are joined this episode by none other than Gerard Delatour, reviewer of The Amazing Spider-Man for the Spider-Man Crawl Space (check out those reviews here)! In Amazing Spider-Man 24 and 25, Mysterio returns in the guise of a psychiatrist, out to catch Spider-Man by proving that he is INSANE.

Emails, emails, and more emails! Between the recording of this episode a month ago and its publication, the emails have begun to stack up, so rather than make you wonderful people wait longer for a response, we recorded an email segment to accompany our somewhat shorter coverage of Amazing Spider-Man 23. And that ended up being half the episode. But keep sending them in. We have a strategy now for addressing emails in a more regular fashion, so never fear to write. This week, Spider-Man is faced once again by his nemesis from Hollywood, the Green Goblin. We also see...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-17-asm-23/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Gasp! Shock! This time around, the Classics gang is going SOLO!! Or…um…trio. What do you call it when a group of three is going alone? Whatever that is, that’s what we’re doing. It’s no big deal. We’re just changing up some behind-the-scenes stuff which will mean more guest co-hosts sometimes, as well as the occasional episode with just the three of us. In this, our latest episode, Jon Wilson, Joshua Bertone, and Donovan Grant venture beyond the realm of the three Pocket Books reprints that Jon had as a youth, looking at Spider-Man’s first fight with the Beetle, and his...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-16-asm-21-22/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

In the meantime, we are wrapping up our recording session with the ever valiant, but by now somewhat sleepy Stephen Lacey, of the World of Superman Blog. After this, Jon, Josh, and Donovan have sworn off seven-hour recording sessions. We’ll be recording more frequently for shorter durations, which means more guest co-hosts, and episodes with no guest co-hosts. It’s just gonna be easier. Stephen was great, but we hate to torture people with hours and hours at the mike. This episode addresses the first appearance of the Scorpion, Mac Gargan, later of Venom fame. We also see Spider-Man co-starring in...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-15-asm-20-and-avengers-11/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Thrill to every minute as Peter Parker runs from a fight, flirts with his aunt, and smashes through glass with nary a scratch. The Sandman and the Enforcers are out in … erm, force, and enjoy them while you can, because neither will grace the pages of a Spidey book for quite some time to come.

This time, Amazing Spider-Man 10 and 11 are up, with a stop along the way for a cameo in Strange Tales 119. ...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-8-asm-10-11/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Here we are with a new month and a new round of classic Spidey episodes. This month, Joshua, Donovan, and I have joining us Mr. Jeffrey Taylor, co-host of the world-renowned From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast. This is a special occasion for me because his and Michael Bailey’s work over on that show is what got me into comic book podcasts in the first place and helped to inspire the show you are looking at now. So I strongly urge you to check them out if you haven’t already. Amazing Spider-Man Classics is devoted to covering every Spider-Man...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-7-asm-9/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

What? You’re back? You must be looking for some classic Spider-Man goodness. Well, this week serves up the goods for Amazing Spider-Man 7 and 8. Jon, Don, and Josh are joined again by Zach Henderson from Teenage Wasteland: An Ultimate Spider-Man Podcast, as we wrap up our April episodes (even though it’s May now cuz Jon had laptop problems). You’ll get the Vulture’s return, the stupidest robot in the history of robots, and Spidey crashing a party in order to score some team-up action. Strange Tales 115 also gets some brief attention, because Amazing Spider-Man Classics is committed to covering...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-6-asm-7-8/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Welcome back to Amazing Spider-Man Classics, where we are committed to taking you through every issue, every guest feature, and every cameo appearance we can find of the amazing Spider-Man! This week, Jon, Josh, and Don are again joined by Zach (from Teenage Wasteland: An Ultimate Spider-Man Podcast) to go back to Spidey’s main book after our team-up time-out last week. Spider-Man has to cross swords, or finger guns, with the metal-masked menace of the Fantastic Four — Dr. Doom! And after that, he then takes the world’s shortest vacation to the Everglades to confront the Lizard! Two of...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/asm-classics-episode-5-asm-5-6/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Flamin’ fireballs! It’s the first-ever Spider-Man team-up and the lucky sonovagun is the Human Torch! Or, since technically this is Johnny Storm’s annual, maybe we should make him seem like the lead with Spidey the guest star? Ah, well, it doesn’t matter. This was a pretty wonky ride, so join Jon Wilson, Josh Bertone, and Donovan Grant, as they are joined by guest co-host Zach Henderson (from Teenage Wasteland: An Ultimate Spider-Man Podcast), and get ready for “one of the most epic thrillers of all time!!” We also take a brief look at Spider-Man’s backup appearance in The Fantastic Four...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/amazing-spider-man-classics-episode-4-strange-tales-annual-2/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

“I almost wish for an opponent who’d give me a run for my money!” Oh, poor Spidey, be careful what you wish for. Because this week, Jon, Bertone, and Donovan wrap up their first round of episodes with Doctor Octopus and the Sandman! And they will both send Spider-Man running away with his spinnerets tucked between his legs. Since there was no episode last week, perhaps a word is due on the schedule of this podcast. It’s gonna be near-weekly. Every month, Jon is gonna go through a stack of issues with a team of cohorts, and those episodes will...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/amazing-spider-man-classics-episode-3-amazing-spider-man-3-and-4/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

The Webhead is back! Six months after his one-off story in the canceled Amazing Fantasy, Spider-Man was granted his own book, which hit shelves in late 1962. Jon, Bertone, and Donovan take a look at the introductions of such essential characters like J. Jonah Jameson and Betty Brant while laughing at Ditko’s cooky villains like the Tinkerer and the Chameleon. Amazing Spider-Man Classics is devoted to covering every issue of Spider-Man’s various titles, as well as every guest appearance or cameo in other books that we can find. Some notes: Right at the beginning of the discussion, I say that...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/amazing-spider-man-classics-episode-2/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>

Welcome to the Premiere Episode of the return of ASM Classics. Below is the original text from the show! “Here it is, folks! The start of your journey through every Spider-Man book and guest appearance, beginning with Amazing Fantasy 15 and going forward indefinitely. In Amazing Spider-Man Classics, we’ll be reviewing and discussing every issue of every Spider-Man series, giving the same treatment to his guest appearances in other books, and tossing at least a mention at every cameo we can find. In this introductory episode, Jon is joined by Bertone and Donovan to look at the origins of our...<p class="continue-reading-button"> <a class="continue-reading-link" href="https://spidey-dude.com/amazing-spider-man-classics-episode-1-amazing-fantasy-15/">Continue reading<i class="crycon-right-dir"></i></a></p>
