    There's one last task to be done before the brand new episodes start in two weeks, and that is to clear the feedback deck. I always appreciate your emails, and I want to give each of them at least some attention, so in this episode, I respond to every email and iTunes review that has come in over the last five years since episode 37 was recorded. Quite a few links are mentioned in the episode. They are as follows: An article about the Marvel sliding timeline from previous show guest J.R. Fettinger Email writer Aiden mentioned two novellas, but the included links are defunct Anecdotal account of the Polaris Nuclear Sub J.R. again, now dressed as Spider-Man! A book about all the old Marvel ads from Amazon Smile (or just use regular Amazon, but Smile gives money to your chosen charity) Aunt May as Spider-Man (*shudder*) Fellow Spider-Podcaster from Brazil doing Uncle Ben's work in Portuguese In future, should you wish to respond to our thoughts on the show, you can do so by writing to us here. Feedback is al

  • "Lost" 040 - Amazing Spider-Man 52 and The X-Men 35

    19/08/2016 Duração: 01h43min

    This is it! This is the end of an era! But of course it is also the dawn of a new! Josh Bertone and Don Grant join Jon Wilson one last time for a look back at a classic Spidey comic, namely Amazing Spider-Man 52, and one last time they are joined by Stephen Lacey of The Fantasticast. This rounds out the big Kingpin trilogy, and we also stop off briefly at the end with The X-Men 35. In two weeks: emails! In two more weeks: New hosts! New episodes! New Amazing Spider-Man Classics!

  • "Lost" 039 - Amazing Spider-Man 51

    06/08/2016 Duração: 01h13min

    Josh, Don, and Jon are once again joined by Stephen Lacey of the Fantasticast to look at an issue of Amazing Spider-Man, in this case that's issue 51 where Spidey and Jonah Jameson find themselves "In the Clutches of the Kingpin!" Come give a listen!

  • "Lost" 038 - Amazing Spider-Man 50

    22/07/2016 Duração: 02h24min

    It's been a long road getting from there to here. It's been a long time, but the time is finally here for "Spider-Man No More!" There is a bit of a story behind this "lost" episode. First of all, Stephen Lacey is back with us to talk Amazing Spider-Man 50, but Fall 2011 was before he became co-host of the the world-renowned Fantasticast, and we loved having him on to talk about the issue. Sadly, though, the recording malfunctioned, and we lost the first 40 minutes of the recording, which included the iconic trash can scene from the issue. We had to get together again a little bit later to rediscuss the first part of the issue, and then THAT recording was lost as well. So we got together AGAIN to rerediscuss that part. HOPEFULLY, my editing skills are masterful, so you'll hardly even be able to tell that there is a recording break or that the first part of the episode was recorded a little bit after the rest. Hope you enjoy!

    08/07/2016 Duração: 01h23min

    Hello, it's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to listen as we go over everything in a Spidey comic. They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't-- Waaaait a minute! This isn't an Adele song! It's a brand new episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics, that's what it is! What?! You mean you unsubscribed??? What a fool! ...er, I mean, that's probably understandable cuz it's been a while. But the show is on its way to making a comeback. Beginning with this here episode right here. So here's the lowdown. This is the first of three episodes from years and years ago that I am calling "lost" episodes. In it, Josh and Don help me take a look at the ins, the outs, and the drama of Amazing Spider-Man 49. Over the next few weeks, two more episodes will come your way with a special guest walking with us through issues 50-52. And then I'm gonna do an episode where I sit down and clean out the email bag. And then the show will be back to new episodes. With some changes. But you'll hear about that

    You've waited.  You've sweated.  You've sued for creator rights and fought over first place in line to see the movie!  Now, here it is, folks!  The next episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics, yaaaaaayyyy!!! Today, ladies and gentleman*, we are looking at one episode of Amazing Spider-Man.  We had planned for two, but one took long enough.  And actually, you may see more episodes in the future with only one issue covered.  I'm contemplating the ifs of a format change.

    Farewell, Steve Ditko.  We hardly knew thee.  This episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics wraps up the tenure of the artist who helped to create our beloved webslinger and guide him down the most formative steps of his publishing history.  With the circumstances surrounding his departure being what they were, it is sadly not the best note on which to depart, but before we talk about A Guy Named Joe in Amazing Spider-Man 38, the Classics gang (continuing to be assisted by Jim Wilson of JimWilsonDesigns, my brother and this website's designer) finishes out Johnny Romita's Spider-baptism by fire in Daredevil 17. Along the way, we mention several sites for which I want to provide links. -- Dr. Strange's early adventures, among other things, are being chronicled on a podcast, the Groucho Ramone Show. -- Lancer Publishing produced the first Spider-Man mass market sized reprint paperback, which has been reviewed by SpiderFan.org. -- Marvel produced bunches of minibooks that could be found in gumball machines.  They

    Hello there from all the gang here at Amazing Spider-Man Classics!  This episode, we are back to begin taking a look at the transition from Steve Ditko to John Romita.  Romita had the joys of drawing Spider-Man for a two-part Daredevil story, the end of which happened to coincide with Steve Ditko quitting Amazing Spider-Man.  So in this episode, we are diving into the first part of that story, Daredevil 16, where Daredevil's new foe, the Masked Marauder, incites some enmity between Hornhead and Webhead as part of his evil plot.  Then we switch over to Steve Ditko's penultimate outing in Amazing Spider-Man 37, featuring the Robot Master and the first named, in-character appearance of Norman Osborn. But we are not alone.  Joining us this time out is designer of the website you are viewing right now, and my brother, Jim Wilson.  He has supported me in this endeavor since its inception, and it was the least I could to have him on to talk some Spidey and Daredevil with us.  He has a great collection of his work in

    Thanks for coming back to see us here at Amazing Spider-Man Classics.  The three Classicists are all by themselves this time out for a couple of lackluster issues that bring us closer to Steve Ditko's departure from the title.  In Amazing Spider-Man 35, The Molten Man Regrets the shameful things that happened between him and the webhead before, but that doesn't stop him from coming back for more.  Then a right-out loony manages to get superpowers from some rock gas and begins looting, and thus we have the birth of the Looter.  All this, and some real treats from Ditko's Gwen Stacy, too! Speaking of Gwen, Josh Bertone has written several articles which explore the life of the character, which can be found at the Crawl Space.  And speaking of things being at the Crawl Space, Donovan Grant has been writing some reviews of the 1994 animated Spider-Man television series, so check those out!
