The moral of these stories: Never go on vacation.
In this episode, Dan and Mark revisit a series of strange experiments in the Marvel line that arose from the rising popularity of the graphic novel format. Comics were slowly being accepted as literature in the United States, which opened the door for new ways to package the stories of characters like Spider-Man, brought new artists to the books, and presented opportunities to do big stories with returning favorite creators.
If you want to read along with our conversation, all of the books discussed are currently available on Marvel Unlimited. They were collected in print in a book called Spider-Man: The Graphic Novels and can be bought online on most major comic retailers, whether through reprints or in their original formats. The books we’ll be discussing are specifically:
&#8211; The Amazing Spider-Man: Hooky (Marvel Graphic Novel #22)
&#8211; The Amazing Spider-Man: Parallel Lives (Marvel Graphic Novel #46)
&#8211; Spider-Man: Spirits of the Earth (Marvel Graphic Novel #63)
&#8211; Spider-Man: Fear Itself (Marvel Graphic Novel #72)
