O, what a tangled web they weaved!

In this season of the Amazing Spider-Talk, Dan and Mark are going back to the mid-80s when the Amazing Spider-Man title was handed over to one of the most legendary creative pairings in comics, who were just starting their creative partnership: Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. It was a time of immense change in the comics industry but together Tom and Ron returned Spider-Man to its Ditko-inspired roots to create one of the most beloved runs on the title.

On today’s show they are going to be talking about the launch of one of the longest running Spider-Man B-Titles, Web of Spider-Man. Back in 1985, Web of Spider-Man replaced Marvel Team-Up to become the third ongoing Spider-Man title being released from Marvel. We are going to be talking about why Marvel made the change, what they hoped to achieve with the new title, and discussing our thoughts on the first run of stories and the title’s lasting impact on the history of Spider-Man.

Black is slimming.

It was a time of immense change in the comics industry but together Tom and Ron returned Spider-Man to its Ditko-inspired roots to create one of the most beloved runs on the title.

On today’s show they are going to be talking about Spider-Man’s first official alternate costume. They aren’t talking about What If… ? #1 where he wore a Fantastic Five outfit, or the time in Germany where Spider-Man stole a fake costume out of a store, so stop typing that angry email about how wrong they are. No, they are talking about Spider-Man’s Black Costume, the single-most audacious and yet beloved upgrade to a classic superhero costume of all time. Love it or hate it, the Black Suit and Spider-Man are like peanut butter and jelly, just of the blackberry variety.

“Grim dark!” More like “grim dumb!” Amiright…?

In this season of the Amazing Spider-Talk, Dan and Mark are going back to the mid-80’s when the Amazing Spider-Man title was handed over to one of the most legendary creative pairings in comics, who were just starting their creative partnership: Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. It was a time of immense change in the comics industry but together Tom and Ron returned Spider-Man to its Ditko-inspired roots to create one of the most beloved runs on the title.

In this episode, they talk about how the ripple effects of the larger comics industry’s shift towards a greater darkness, or “grim darkness”, and maturity would find its way into the pages of Spider-Man comics. While Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz held to a classical tradition of “hoo-ha”, silver age comic book storytelling, in the pages of Spectacular Spider-Man a new writer on the comic scene, Peter David, would take after the likes of Frank Miller to bring a darker tone to Peter Parker’s adventures.

They specifically talk about the classic Spider-Man story “The Death of Jean DeWolff” which can be found in issues #107-110 of Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man. These issues can be found in reprints and collected editions, as well as on the Marvel digital marketplace and Marvel Unlimited.

“A Death in the Family…”

The feud between Dan and Mark comes to an end after 400 episodes of arguing about Annuals. Plus a celebration of the Amazing Spider-Talk’s fourth centennial and an epic trivia game pitting friend against friend, and brother against brother, all to reveal just how bad Mark and Dan are at trivia on a topic they claim to be experts about!

Thanks to Tristan Mathews for putting together our first Spider-Trivia and making it so special. Watch it on YouTube and you can play along with the insanity!
