I liked that issue, too. I want to see what happens when Aunt May has to fib to Mrs. Watson about how Peter's doing these days. Maybe then she'll be able to forgive his secrecy. :-) "Oh dearie, Peter's just fine! Yes, he's having a little trouble adjusting to being a schoolteacher, but after Dr. Octopus I'm sure it's nothing he can't handle. Hmmm? Oh, silly me, I meant Jonah Jameson. Peter would never have anything to do with super-villains; it would be bad for his health. I just meant that after dealing with that tyrannical editor for years, I know he's bound to have a thick skin. The kind that can resist incendiary pumpkin-bombs...oh, I mean 'taunting barbs.' Kids can be so cruel, you know. And fighting with Green Goblins would only exacerbate the dear boy's allergies -- he's so frail sometimes -- so I know he wouldn't do anything like that...." The "Make Mime Marvel" comic in the Peter Parker series was a hoot, too. I want to see Marvel Team-Up where Spider-Man and Opus the Salami Vigilante join forces to fight the evil Mime gang. ;-) Has anybody read the Viz comic "Vagabond?" It's a manga comic of Yoshikawa's "Musashi" novel. Marvin Long Austin, Texas
