GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN #3
by Gerry Conway, Ross Andru, and Mike Esposito
Spider-Man teams with pulp hero Doc Savage to fight the Menace from Beyond Time.
POINTLESS TRIVIA
BEN: Doc Savage, known as the Man of Bronze, was a pulp hero that Stan Lee, among others, has called the precursor to modern superheroes. He is not a Marvel original and needs to be licensed.
DUY: Peter Parker, conveniently, has taken a course in comparative languages.
WHAT'S AGED THE BEST?
BEN: Nothing about this comic ages well.
DUY: I dunno, here's a precursor to Google Translate.
BEN: Where to begin, the nonsensical place that exists in time but not space?
DUY: This is trying too hard to be something different from the DC multiverse that it makes no sense.
BEN: Good thing she has those triangles or else she might look indecent.
DUY: If Dessina were colored the same color as skin, there's no way it passes the Code..
BEN: Doc Savage is a concept that just might not be relevant anymore. Like the Shadow, or Tarzan. He’s basically the Molten Man with clothes on.
NITPICKS
BEN: I thought they existed outside of time?
DUY: This is a team-up where they don't even team up. It's basicaly a Doc Savage adventure with Spidey doing something at the end. What was the point of this?
FAVORITE PANEL
BEN: Mine:
WHO WON THE COMIC?
DUY: Sexists everywhere.
BEN: I want my figurative 50 cents back.
