The Black Widow is here! And she debuts her classic costume!
POINTLESS TRIVIA
BEN: I cannot say with certainty I’ve ever read any of the comics between the Stone Tablet Saga and this one.
DUY: First appearance of Black Widow's skintight leather catsuit costume, which would be her classic, iconic costume.
DUY: Which must have been inspired by Emma Peel's costume from the TV show Avengers:
WHAT'S AGED THE BEST?
DUY: A Woody Allen reference has, surprisingly, both aged pretty well in terms of recognition, and aged pretty badly given everything we now know about Woody Allen.
BEN: Stan wasn't joking about this.
WHAT'S AGED THE WORST?
DUY: Stop calling them "Females", Peter! Stop it!
BEN: Ignoring the sexist first part, the second part is a really weird thing to say. Ugh:
DUY: "She feels you're keeping something from her!" Well, yeah. You are.
BEN: Argh!
BEN: Please Peter, give up your only source of income:
NITPICKS
DUY: So is Anna Watson, like, May's maid now?
BEN: What could Anna possibly be getting out of that friendship?
DUY: A brand-spanking new maid uniform, that's what.
FAVORITE PANEL
DUY: A brand-spanking new maid uniform, that's what.
FAVORITE PANEL

DUY: Look at Marvel back in the 70s, blatantly putting women in protagonist positions, and blatantly saying the guest appearances are a cash grab:
WHO WON THE COMIC?
DUY: This entire comic was a preview of Natasha's new featuring in Amazing Tales, so the Black Widow wins.
BEN: Or do we win?
BEN: Hey, he was older then than I am now, and I can’t even remember why I went to the kitchen sometimes.
DOES GEORGE STACY KNOW?
BEN: Yes, yes he does.
DUY: Thank you, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko—
BEN: —for telling us we aren't the only ones.
