#141: May 1970 - "Unmasked At Last!"
We're back after a longer-than-planned holiday hiatus to talk about all of Marvel's superhero comics that hit the stands in May 1970! Peter Parker unmasks himself as Spider-Man! The Fantastic Four get evicted by the mob! And Doctor Doom becomes the first supervillain to get (half of) his own ongoing series! Plus, it's the return of Marvel by the Minute!
