Spider-Man #26Issue(s): Spider-Man #26 Review/plot: This is another anniversary issue with a hologram cover. The main plot has a pair of brothers that have stolen forcefield technology from Madame Menace. ![]() Spidey saves them from getting killed by Madame Menace's goons but also makes sure they go to jail. There's also a subthread about a guy straight out of the 1960s who keeps talking about his criminal uncle. ![]() He takes advantage of the disturbance caused by the brothers to do some purse snatching. ![]() He later flags down Spider-Man and gives the purse back. It's left unresolved if this really is the nephew of the guy that killed Peter's uncle Ben. ![]() ![]() Anniversary issues ought to be banned from existence.

CommentsI thought this was a nice one-and-done issue, with the exception of the hackneyed "Nephew of the Burglar" subplot. These "simple criminals in over their heads" plots are nice to have every once and a while, and I thought the forcefield machine lent itself well to that kind of story. It would have actually been nice to have seen Sunset Bain in more Spider-Man stories, especially considering she's a Ditko & DeFalco creation, but I think she only has one more mostly-background appearance in this title before vanishing for several years.
