"With great power comes great responsibility" coming from a child molester would be HORRIBLE.

I don't remember when or where I saw that, but I agree -- bullet dodged there.<br /><br />I've read a ton of J.M. DeMatteis' Spider-Man, but somehow I've never actually read "The Child Within". I really need to rectify that someday.<br /><br />Wasn't "Kraven's Last Hunt" also reworked by DeMatteis from a Batman idea? That's weird.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-3951181757895971682020-07-28T03:45:39.523-07:002020-07-28T03:45:39.523-07:00I remember having the one-shot, as well as a fold-...I remember having the one-shot, as well as a fold-up newsprint version of said issue. A 1985 MARVEL AGE issue commented on Lee putting the story to the newspaper version.<br />From what I gathered, an original plan was to have Uncle Ben be the culprit (!?!). Good thing that was shot down.<br />The storyline sounds like something JM DeMatties would have used in the "Child Within" storyline, although he was adamant about the 'Peter feels guilty over his parents' death' characterization from his discarded 'Batman child abuse' story. angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.com
