GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN #11
by Len Wein, Ross Andru, and Don Heck
Spider-Man meets Dracula!
POINTLESS TRIVIA
DUY: This version of Dracula was created for horror comic The Tomb of Dracula, which debuted in April 1972, just a few months after Morbius, and just a few months after the Comics Code Authority allowed characters and beings from previous literary works (previously, vampires were not allowed). This was supposed to be separate from the rest of the Marvel Universe, but the sales potential was too high and this was the first of those crossovers..
WHAT'S AGED THE BEST?
BEN: Unfortunately, this scene is very relevant to the present day.
BEN: Bravo, that was a great reveal, and thought-provoking.
DUY: Spider-Man's unconscious sexism is a thing that will continue to be a thing up until the Into the Spider-Verse movie.
WHAT'S AGED THE WORST?
BEN: You’ve already fought a vampire (and werewolves) before this moment, Pete.
BEN: Machine Gun Kelly is a terrible present-day rapper.
DUY: Machine Gun Kelly was named after a serial killer, so there is a reason for this, but yes, that hasn't aged well.
NITPICKS
BEN: I could no-prize this, but still, he found a ship in the middle of the Atlantic in 15 minutes.
DUY: Why not drain them instead of simply killing them? Dracula is wasteful.
BEN: That's a helluva coincidence.
DUY: Technically, Maxfield didn't fall out of the sky.
FAVORITE PANEL
BEN: Mine:
DUY: Comics never shoved gender politics down your throats.
BEN: No, never.
WHO WON THE COMIC?
DUY: Dr. AJ Maxfield.
BEN: I’m giving this to Wein. I’ve been negative about him in the past, and I was fully expecting this comic to be a chore, but it was quite good..
