Harry.
But I always wondered if that was who it was really supposed to be.

It was Harry... he says he was there in ASM # 136/137 (I believe)

I think it was revealed later that it was Harry Osborn. But I might remember it wrong.

Thanks for clarifying, guys! Really appreciate it.

I read The Death of Gwen Stacy not too long ago and I remember that. No clue. TMITS? lol

Haha, y'know there have been a number of characters who started out "in the shadows." Norman Osborn, Harry, Mac Gargon (pre-scorpion), etc. Always loved those mystery elements in the comic books.

 

[KaineMorrison]

I like a mystery, but I hate it at the same time.
1 - If a new author comes in, they decide who the Shadow Person is and it's nearly never who it was originally supposed to be.

2 - A mandate later on will change who the writer had originally envisioned

3 - if dragged on long enough the readers will figure it out and the author will change it just for the hell of it, story/sense be damned

 

[Picard Sisko]

In some cases it did work out. For example: Green Goblin. Wasn't it only decided to make him Norman Osborn afterwards?

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

At the end of TASM #122 (the final showdown), who is the character watching Spider-Man in the shadows?

it's been so long and my memory is probably faulty, but I think it WAS Harry, and later on Dr. Hamilton used that information to search out the Green Goblin's hideouts, as Hamilton was Harry's psychiatrist back then...

I can't remember how it all went down exactly, but I believe this is where the Osborn/Hamilton connection came in, with Harry revealing what he knew under hypnosis to Hamilton and Hamilton taking advantage of the situation.....

 

[Picard Sisko]

Interesting. That all makes sense now.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

I'm just one of the few old-time and long-time Spidey fan/historians around here... I'm just a fountain of knowledge and information, LOL...t:

anytime, m' man...

Much appreciated!

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Much appreciated!

does that mean that even JESUS is a Spidey fan?...LOL...

 

[Picard Sisko]

Perhaps… what if Peter Parker is a reincarnation of Jesus? HOLY MOLY! lol

Jesus doesn't make deals with the Devil...

 

[Picard Sisko]

But the One More Day storyline "never happened."

 

[Themanofbat]

Harry only went to see Hamilton after he was deemed "insane" after his capture in ASM #137... so the Hamilton connection only started at that time...

 

[Picard Sisko]

Now I'm currently up to TASM #252. Just got the "Birth of Venom" TP in the mail today!

I just read an interesting piece over at Bleeding Cool that both McFarlane and Quesada are down for a Spawn/Spider-Man crossover.

Honestly I'd prefer McFarlane to do an issue of ASM but this is intriguing nonetheless.

 

[Picard Sisko]

That is quite interesting. Well if this really does happen, I'll certainly give it a shot and read it.

[Picard Sisko]

I don't know about you, but I don't see any similarities.

 

[Nicko-Ray]

Anybody know which issue this is from?

 

[Airnick]

Anybody know which issue this is from?

ASM#425 maybe?

 

[Picard Sisko]

I have issues #422 and #425, so I will go check them out again later. This artwork looks like its from one of those issues, or at least some spidey comic from the 90s.

 

[runawayboulder]

It's 425.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Anybody know which issue this is from?

ugh... I recognize the ugly art pf Steve Skroce ANYWHERE... I consider him as one of the two worst Spidey artists ever... I railed on his art back then and I was so glad when he moved on...

 

[Picard Sisko]

I wouldn't consider it ugly, but its not the most beautiful comic book art that I've seen.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

I wouldn't consider it ugly, but its not the most beautiful comic book art that I've seen.

THAT'S an understatement... though it IS better than the other all-time worst Spidey artist...

but not by much...

 

[Picard Sisko]

I don't mind it that much, but oh well. *shrug*
