Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #101Issue(s): Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #101 Review/plot: ![]() He's also got to dwelling on Gwen Stacy. Peter's memories of Gwen are a bit more... racy than i would have imagined. ![]() Meanwhile, ![]() ...and Blacklash is forced to take one of the wife's guards as a hostage. ![]() The guard goes after Blacklash on his own. Spider-Man also gets involved. Sneaking into the building, Spider-Man sees the rope left behind by the hostage's husband, and he thinks to himself: "Now that's an odd place leave a rope! [sic]. Wonder if... Nah! What would he be doing in town?" I don't know who he's referring to! ![]() Spider-Man catches up with the guard and webs him up so he doesn't get himself hurt, and then he faces off against Blacklash. ![]() ![]() After it's over, both the guard and his wife are thankful for Spidey's involvement, as opposed to being upset that he interfered. The issue ends with Spidey leaving a flower at Gwen Stacy's grave. A little sentimental but it's generally handled well. Unspectacular but decent art (except for the odd choice on Gwen). Fine for a fill-in. And a nice cover that makes a good use of Spider-Man's other costume's color scheme. You know, the costume he doesn't wear in this issue.

CommentsNever heard of Juan Alacantara before. The 1980s and the ubiquitous nunchucks. Guhhh..... Posted by: Mark Drummond | April 1, 2012 3:05 PM The greatest thing about this issue is the cover.

If it's a Batman reference it's over my head, which wouldn't be surprising. Posted by: fnord12 | March 25, 2015 3:16 PM I remember buying this issue just because of that nice cover (hey, I was 10) and being surprised that he was wearing his red and blue. Posted by: Erik Beck | May 26, 2015 6:54 AM I was a bit sad to see Blacklash go back to crime after his last appearance in MTU, but it gives us a good issue. (And is realistic in depicting a criminal returning to crime despite his intentions. I really liked Spidey's motivation for not letting the guard try to save his wife Ïf I fail, you can wind up hating me, instead of yourself" or something along those lines. Posted by: kveto | March 18, 2016 9:53 AM I agree with Kveto about Blacklash and everyone about the cover. This is a decent story but the issue after Spider-man breaks up with a woman he loved so much he actually told her who he really was is the wrong place for it! Also, does it strike anyone else that going to a concert is a silly thing to do here? Remember the end of WEB#1? "BONG! BONG! BONG! BONG!" etc... I can see Spidey sitting there asking "Hey, when's the show going to start?" and somebody replying, "He's been playing for half an hour!" "WHAT?" Posted by: Benway | July 7, 2017 1:16 AM Actually, thinking about it... I still want to see the continuity insert showing how utterly deaf Peter Parker clad only in undershorts managed to escape from that church and get all the way home.
