Absolutely, I loved this story. O’Neil and Miller crafted my favorite type of Spidey story, where he’s in above his head and out of his element. Nothing goes right for Peter. He loses the girl twice, probably failed the lab he was in, beats up a bunch of gargoyles and for his trouble gets yelled at by an old lady, and shut out by Dr. Strange

Like I said about last week’s entry, I like stories of Batman out of his element, overmatched and out of his comfort zone. Last week’s issue dealt with Batman dealing with an alien invasion and this week features him dealing with a supernatural threat and has to find a way out of a hopeless situation.

Running Away to Join the Circus! (Robin Annual #4)

this was a fun retelling of the classic origin story, expanded and updated for then-modern times. Dixon tells a story that’s more than an origin of a superhero, but a story of a boy, alone and without roots finding roots and a family, even if that family is a tad unconventional.
