Somebody who shall remain nameless will be hitting the big SIX-OH in September...

Spidey rules with being timeless....

 

[Themanofbat]

Ha! Even I wasn't in my 30's yet in '92!

I had turned 25 in 1992... but my joke was more to the fact that the person in question was turning 39 in 1992...

 

[Doc Ock]

You guys are old people!

 

[runawayboulder]

I was 14 in 92 and I f**king miss it.

 

[Thwip!]

I was 2 in 92....

 

[runawayboulder]

92 was the year long celebration for Spidey's 30th anniversary. In ASM, his parents returned but the best stuff was going down in Spectacular Spider-Man. JM DeMatties and Sal Buscema were absolutely killing it with Harry Osborn going full tilt into insane mode and the stuff with Vermin and the late Dr Kafka.

92 was also the year of Erik Larsen's "Revenge of the Sinister Six" in the adjective-less Spider-Man title. It was the sequel to the ASM summer 6 parter from a couple of years prior.

I was 37 in '92...
jeez...

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I was 10 in '92. I remember it VERY well, because that's near when the Spidey magic first hit me. I picked up my first Spidey book in late '91, and '92 is when I really fell in love with it. Loved Carnage, Venom and the parents returning, but I didn't really appreciate the crazy Harry stories until a few years later. Still liked that too, but I didn't know who Harry's dad was or why he was a ghost, who Vermin was and why Harry had a golden brother-in-law (Molten Man). So it took me a few years until I was old enough to fully appreciate it, but now I love it and I was so disappointed (but not surprised) when he was pointlessly ressurected (because they had such important stories to tell about him ).

I was 12 in 92. I don't think I picked up Spidey til 93 (whenever Venom Lethal Protector #1 came out). I remember buying all of the 30th anniversary stuff to get caught up and loved it.

 

[Traveller]

I was 24 in 92. I was a Spidey-fan since 78 so I had a relatively big collection then.

In '92 I was.... -4 years old.

This thread is full of geezers.

Aloha,
Age ain't nothing but mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.
Stan Lee at 90 years old, proves how timeless this art/literature form is.

I will always feel sorry for those with no (or at least no significant) memory of the 90's. They'll never know what they missed.

And people a generation later will be saying the same thing. Of course the 90's didnt have the fear the new millenium received so abruptly. Still, I enjoyed my teens in the mid 00's and my twenties in this decade. Can't complain. Hey, we have space phones now.

Heh heh... TSoB was born in 1998 and he basically thinks that the majority of 90's stories sucked donkey balls...

I will tell him some storylines that came out, and for the most part, he just rolls his eyes... particularly anything that is Clone Saga related...

In fact, when he'll ask me about the details of a particularly bad storyline, as soon as I start off with "Well, it was around 1990- "... I don't even get to finish saying the last digit, and he says "Say no more... it was a 90's story" t:

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Man, I love 90's stories, especially the much maligned clone saga. Ben Reilly rocked. Better recognize! In terms of hokey crap, stuff like Sins Past, One More Day, The Other and One Moment in Time beats the pants off anything that came out in the 90's.

Or as I put it, Spider-Man "jumped the shark..."

but the best stuff was going down in Spectacular Spider-Man. JM DeMatties and Sal Buscema were absolutely killing it with Harry Osborn going full tilt into insane mode and the stuff with Vermin and the late Dr Kafka.

Believe it or not, but I never really was a fan of Sal Buscema's art, though I did enjoy the Gobby stuff.

92 was also the year of Erik Larsen's "Revenge of the Sinister Six" in the adjective-less Spider-Man title. It was the sequel to the ASM summer 6 parter from a couple of years prior.

I was a fan of Larsen though and loved the Sinister Six stuff with Ock in the suit.

I was 37 in '92...
jeez...

I'm only 10 years behind you...

Bright kid.

Yes, the Clone Saga corrected itself in the end and the stuff you mention was rock bottom, with OMD being the grandaddy of all time worse Spidey storyline.

Sorry, double post.

I agree. There was some stories in the 90's that was too much to me (Blood Rose or the Spider-Man series #1-43 almost all of it and the Gathering of Five of course) but I liked the Clone Saga until Peter was the Spidey a lot. I loved JMD full run in the Spectacular (The Child Within the most) and the Name of the Rose in the Web of. So the 90's was pretty good to me.
