Do you see an Ayn Rand quote anywhere?
I grew up in the 90s, was never fond of that era, 80s are my favorite, 2000s renewed my love1990's. Now I know it's not really the best decade for Spidey, but it's the one that means the most for me because it's when I started reading (with 'The Child Within' in 1991). I loved the Harry as Green Goblin stories, the Venom and Carnage stories, yes the Peter's parents stories and yes the Kaine and Ben Reilly stories.
If I grew up in the 80's or 00's my opinion would probably be different. But sentiment means a lot to me and the 90's stories are my classics.
If I had to choose my favorite, it would came from, the 60's, 70's, or 80's. And if we're talking reading first hand and fond memories, it's between the 70's & 80's, too close to call. But I may have to give an edge to the 80's (sorry TMOB).
Mr Ditko, is that you?
The Joker;21208743]The 60's and it's not even close.
I like Tarantula as a villain, sad thing Stern killed himStern did so much more than just bring back a new angle to the Goblin mythos to Spidey... he gave the Vulture a much long overdue origin, the Juggernaut story, the Roxxon story involving the original Tarantula, Cobra & Mr. Hyde, etc...
Indeed. I was just pointing out just one of his famous stories. My second favorite story of his is Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut.Stern did so much more than just bring back a new angle to the Goblin mythos to Spidey... he gave the Vulture a much long overdue origin, the Juggernaut story, the Roxxon story involving the original Tarantula, Cobra & Mr. Hyde, etc...
Naughties?i haven't read enough spidey to justify this but all the stuff i own is pretty much from the nineties and early naughties so i will have to go with that.
Naughties?
She meant noughties. Nought, or zero.
Starting with the year 2000.
no, i call them naughties, i did quite a lot of misbehaving back in the day
No worries... you and I grew up on the same Spider-Boat...
If I look at that magical reading period between ages 8 & 18, I'm in the same 70's/80's split... and then it just comes down to Marv Wolfman stories versus Roger Stern stories, and Marv's beautiful ASM #200 always gives it the nudge; hence, why I always pick the 70's.
