Some fun life size photo op installations at the exhibition: Can pose next to a swinging Spidey or get caught in the tentacles of Doc Ock!
#SpiderMan
Still 2 weeks to check out the "Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" Exhibition at Chicago's Griffin Museum of Science + Industry. Ends Feb 8!
Besides many cool exhibits (see earlier posts), there is also an ENTIRE museum shop devoted solely to Spidey merch. I dreamed of this as a kid!
#SpiderMan
Authentic props used in the Spidey movies!
On display at the "Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" exhibit at Griffin Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago:
Spider-Man (2002) - Goblin mask & pumpkin bomb
Spider-Man 2 (2004) - Doc Ock claw & goggles
Spider-Man 3 (2007) - Various props (camera from TASM)
Another cool feature at the "Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" exhibit at Griffin Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago:
A typewritten first page of the script for ASM #82 (published in 1969 & one of the first Spidey comics I ever bought as a very young kid)--with handwritten edits by Stan.
#SpiderMan
Finally made it to the Griffin Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago to check out the "Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" exhibit.
Something for Spidey fans of all ages and the crowd reflected that.
The biggest highlight for me? Getting to see this in person for the first time ever! #SpiderMan
This is it!
The final installment of our 40 year celebration of the Marvel Age Calendar for 1985!

The rollercoaster of comic blind bags (Monster and The Wolf version - 10 bags total):
The ups: First 6 bags-->3 trick covers (1:100 ratio)
The downs: After 10 bags-->3 repeats

Kind of weird that it's only happened three times ever and two were by the Packers in the last month-igami.

Thoughts on this "All New, All Daring" era of PPTSS?
(released July 16, 1985; art by Rich Buckler)
I didn't know how much I needed to hear someone else say this. Thank you.

This was back in the theaters this weekend & it was so fun to see it on the big screen again after 23 years.
Some of the effects don't hold up but this is still one of the best comic book movies of all time & probably my favorite.
This was the movie that made Marvel realize the MCU was possible.
That's fair. Not quite up to Whiplash status.

I even created my own back then: The Drill! And he was just what he sounds like--a costumed guy with a giant drill! 😂

Not a big key but one I'm very fond of--the first book I ever read written by Bill Mantlo, my favorite CB writer during my comic collecting youth.
I loved Mantlo's commitment to serialized storytelling & ambitious narrative vision. Still miss him.
