Cool Comic Fill-In - Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #53
This was a fun fill-in issue by Bill Mantlo and Jim Mooney, both of whom, at one point or another, were part of this title's regular creative team.
The issuehas two many points to it.
The first is an extended sequence where Peter Parker has to go into action without his costume. There's a lot of good jokes involving people thinking that he is trying to kill himself when they see a guy in a suit jump out of a window. Also, amusingly enough, Peter's web mask well, he has to wait an hour for it to dissipate.
Funny stuff.
The second half was more of a way for Mantlo to reconcile the Tinkerer with some bad guys that Spider-Man had faced in Amazing Spider-Man (namely the Rocket Racer and the Big Wheel). Tinkerer was behind them both.
At the end, the Tinkerer shows great remorse when a robot he built is destroyed. It is weird scene, and Mantlo does a good job showing how it is weird for SPIDEY, too!!
Mooney's art was good.
Strong John Romita Jr. cover!
