BEN: As a kid, I always thought he was a Spider-Man villain.
DUY: Sal Buscema is credited on art here, and it should be noted that he will continually work on Spider-related titles until 2006.
BEN: Sal is immortal. And is this the first time they've expanded upon the origin?
DUY: Expanded, yes. Retold, no.
WHAT'S AGED THE BEST?
DUY: Anna Watson, who I might point out, is no longer a maid.
BEN: I’ll give her credit for “what’s that got to do with it” but she ruins it with “he should be looking after you.”
DUY: May's heart can't even be that weak.
BEN: May has had 47 heart attacks and is still kicking, why is anyone still worried about her?
WHAT'S AGED THE WORST?
DUY: The Beetle has made multiple appearances at this point, and hes still in that horrible costume.
BEN: Its hard to act tough while saying “suction feelers.”
DUY: Marvel and DC throughout their history would continue to do these retellings of origins. I generally don't like them, partly because they add things that are unnecessary a lot of the time. Here's a scene that will never, ever be referenced in his origin ever again.
NITPICKS
DUY: I'm fairly sure we've seen the Daily Bugle numerous times, and it's never ever looked like this from the outside.
BEN: The Stacys at this point have had multiple homes, including a house and an apartment.

WHO WON THE COMIC?

DUY: That's it for Spider-Rama this week.
BEN: Thank you, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko—
DUY: —for telling us we aren't the only ones.
