ASM Classics Episode 21: Amazing Spider-Man Annual 2 and 30

The drought is over. The hiatus is ended. Amazing Spider-Man Classics is back with its longest episode ever, just for you for the holiday season! We are joined again this episode by Eddie deAngelini, comic archive researcher for With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story., as we take a look at Spider-Man’s second annual and thirtieth monthly issues of his series. Also, Brad Douglas of the Spider-Man Crawlspace sticks his head in for some emails at the beginning of the show. Speaking of emails, Aiden Mohan sent us an email discussing the future of Princess Python, and he references a…

ASM Classics Episode 20: Amazing Spider-Man 28 & 29

It’s time for pomp, circumstance, and supervillains here at Amazing Spider-Man Classics! After a few days’ delay due to school, the Classics team is now able to take a look at Amazing Spider-Man 28 and 29 with the help of Eddie deAngelini, comic archive researcher for With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story, a documentary which got its premiere at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Eddie also holds the claim to fame of owning every single issue of (The) Amazing Spider-Man, having closed his final gap of issue 2 at SDCC, where he met our own Josh Bertone and introduced…

ASM Classics Episode 19: Amazing Spider-Man 26 and 27

Bring back! Oh, bring back! Oh, bring back my Goblin to me! Welcome again to Amazing Spider-Man Classics where this episode, Jon, Josh, and Donovan take a look at the only two-part Green Goblin story that Steve Ditko gave us. And along the way, we are aided and abetted by the one and only J.R. Fettinger, a voice on the Spider-Man Crawl Space podcast panel and also the author of the Spidey Kicks Butt website.

ASM Classics Episode 18: Amazing Spider-Man 24 & 25

We’re wrapping up September with a bang, Spider-Fans! Not only is this our longest episode yet, not only does this episode include the silver anniversary issue of Amazing Spider-Man, not only do we get to see the first (kinda) appearance of Mary Jane Watson, but also we are joined this episode by none other than Gerard Delatour, reviewer of The Amazing Spider-Man for the Spider-Man Crawl Space (check out those reviews here)! In Amazing Spider-Man 24 and 25, Mysterio returns in the guise of a psychiatrist, out to catch Spider-Man by proving that he is INSANE. Then, two years of publication…

ASM Classics Episode 17: ASM 23

Emails, emails, and more emails! Between the recording of this episode a month ago and its publication, the emails have begun to stack up, so rather than make you wonderful people wait longer for a response, we recorded an email segment to accompany our somewhat shorter coverage of Amazing Spider-Man 23. And that ended up being half the episode. But keep sending them in. We have a strategy now for addressing emails in a more regular fashion, so never fear to write. This week, Spider-Man is faced once again by his nemesis from Hollywood, the Green Goblin. We also see…

ASM Classics Episode 16: ASM 21 & 22

Gasp! Shock! This time around, the Classics gang is going SOLO!! Or…um…trio. What do you call it when a group of three is going alone? Whatever that is, that’s what we’re doing. It’s no big deal. We’re just changing up some behind-the-scenes stuff which will mean more guest co-hosts sometimes, as well as the occasional episode with just the three of us. In this, our latest episode, Jon Wilson, Joshua Bertone, and Donovan Grant venture beyond the realm of the three Pocket Books reprints that Jon had as a youth, looking at Spider-Man’s first fight with the Beetle, and his…

ASM Classics Episode 15: ASM 20 and Avengers 11

In the meantime, we are wrapping up our recording session with the ever valiant, but by now somewhat sleepy Stephen Lacey, of the World of Superman Blog. After this, Jon, Josh, and Donovan have sworn off seven-hour recording sessions. We’ll be recording more frequently for shorter durations, which means more guest co-hosts, and episodes with no guest co-hosts. It’s just gonna be easier. Stephen was great, but we hate to torture people with hours and hours at the mike. This episode addresses the first appearance of the Scorpion, Mac Gargan, later of Venom fame. We also see Spider-Man co-starring in…

ASM Classics Episode 14: ASM 18 & 19

Welcome back, Spidey fans, to the British invasion!!! Yes, we are joined again this week by UK Superman blogger Stephen Lacey, to take a look at Amazing Spider-Man 18 and 19. Thrill to every minute as Peter Parker runs from a fight, flirts with his aunt, and smashes through glass with nary a scratch. The Sandman and the Enforcers are out in … erm, force, and enjoy them while you can, because neither will grace the pages of a Spidey book for quite some time to come. The new Facebook link to the left points to a NEW Facebook page. …
