Last issue introduced Mindworm. And speaking of silly villains…
This story has the debut of Grizzly! And he’s working with…
Jackal! Who dances in his underwear!
It’s a goofy villain trifecta!
Spidey beats up Grizzly twice in these issues. First, when Grizzly shows up at the Daily Bugle to beat up J. Jonah Jameson who wrote bad stuff about him when he was a wrestler.
Then, Spidey beats him up in #140 after some stuff with Jackal that isn’t important enough to repeat.
Okay, so none of that is good, but we do get the first regular black female castmember: The first appearance of Gloria Grant, Peter’s hot neighbor. Also, Spider-Man beats up JJJ’s cigar.
