Comics Live From NY, It's Spidey Night!

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Presenting for the heck of it, a reprinting of Marvel Team-Up #74, featuring Spidey with the 1978 cast of Saturday Night Live! Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Bill Murray, Laraine Newman, Gilda Radner, Lorne Michaels and a special appearance by Stan Lee!

Little trivia for ya: this issue was done with the intent that Stan would host an episode of SNL as a cross-promotional thing. Though the issue was published, Stan's episode never happened.

That was... er...

Did they time travel to the current SNL writers to get that one hammered out?

 

[SoulManX]

Wow just wow

 

[Shifty]

No drug references?

I think they would've been in a little bad taste, with John Belushi in the issue. But wtf Is up with MJ in the second to last panel?

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I think he said somethin' highly improper to her.

Who is the artist? I feel dumb for not knowing, but the artwork looks so familar. I'm sure i've seen that same artwork in Amazing Spider-Man 260, but I can' remember the artist name. Or maybe i'm wrong about the correlation. I now feel I am undeserving of my Spideyphile title...

Why it was written in 1978, John didn't die until the early 80s. I know it started with Stan potentially hosting the show, just seems weird for SNL back then to be featured in a Spider-Man comic book. How many people who read Spider-Man actually watched the show? They recieved approval from NBC and SNL but no one from the show took any part in it, when it actually could've been decent.

There is no page 5 You posted the cover, 2,3 then suddenly 6 and 7.

It's slow in here......and everyone's ignoring my thread...

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Arach, yer bein' too literal. I meant page as in what I posted. Cover is 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5&6 are th' splash page spread where you'd find Bob Hall is th' artist.

 

[Arach Knight]

Thanks for clearing that up. I saw it now, in the camera monitor. Bob Hall...I have to remember that name. I like his work.

Man...Samurai Dehli Belushi vs Silver Samurai...the most epic Samurai battle of all times

Man, that's hilarious. This kind of reminds me of an X-Factor annual, that had a back up story concerning the "Inferno" crossover. In the story, the FBI sends in two agents to investigate the demonic happenings that took place in NYC (the joke here is that the agents looked suspiciously like the Blues Brothers, and their names were Jacob "Jake" Farber and Elwood McNulty).

Best was when they were talking with Jameson, and Jake, while narrating, described him as "Groucho Marx on speed." Funny stuff.

 

[Cyclops]

Oh, wow... I didn't notice Statler and Waldorf from the Muppet Show before. That's a weird cameo.

It's a brilliant cameo.... t: t: t:

I've got this hilarious issue. The only letdown was Rick Jones was supposed to do the music and we never saw it.
