Episode 137: Happy Birthday, Spider-Man Part 4 – The British Invasion Ends

My loving and seemingly never ending birthday card to Spider-Man continues this week as I wrap up the awesome conversation I had with Andrew Leyland, the co-host of Hey Kids, Comics (with his son Micheal) and the Fantasticast (with Stephen Lacey).  Our subject?  The comics Marvel published celebrating Spider-Man’s 30th Anniversary.  In this exciting installment we not only beat the pumpkin bomb joke into the ground a few times we also talk about Amazing Spider-Man #365, Spider-Man #26 and Spectacular Spider-Man #189.  That final book causes a bit of confusion and, to be honest, embarrassment on my part towards the end of the episode because Andy and I covered it as if it were the final book and it turns out that due to a mistake on the cover date it was actually the first.  Aside from that and the fact that at one point I say Mary Jane grew up next door to Peter in the comics (which is obviously not true)  it’s a really fun episode and I want to thank Andy again for appearing on this show.

Quick warning; something really weird happens at the end of the episode.  You have been warned.
