This is actually an excellent slice-of-life story, very subtle for its time. Aunt May's boyfriend Nathan reminisces his good old days of acting, and thinks he scares off a few thugs in a theater, but it was really Spidey who was behind Nathan.

Another scene I really enjoyed was when Gargoyle showed a mother and daughter how majestic life is by flying them above the city, one in each of Gargoyle's arms. He showed them how petty their problems were or something, the issue also had something to do with discriminating against freaky dudes like him as well.

Another Spidey story that left a big impression on me, I guess.

Well, when you look at the writer, are you really surprised with the human element?

Glad to bring back the memories...
