So, the original black suit doesn't last long! In fact even before the Secret War is over (the timeless mini-series where Spidey gets the black suit) Spider-Man has returned to his iconic red and blue suit. The issues during which this takes place are the issues I've probably read the most times out of all the issues in my collection.
Amazing Spider-Man #258 is one of my favorite Spider-Man issues, I just love everything about it. Tom DeFalco wrote it and Ron Frenz drew it and it's by far one of the most memorable issues they did together in my opinion. My absolute FAVORITE part is the nightmare sequence where Peter is being chased and attacked by his two Spider-Man outfits! I think this is such an awesome concept and fits so well with who Spider-Man is and how he sees himself! I want to read it again just writing about it haha! Here see for yourself:
Spectacular right? Anyways this is what leads Spider-Man to have his suit checked out by none other than Mr. Fantastic himself leading to Spidey's wardrobe change but thanks to the Human Torch it gets worse before it gets better! Meet the "Unknown Hero":
So he goes on to break up a liquor store robbery in front of a news crew creating his super hero faux pas! (Don't worry it's only funny to comic geeks like me) The next issue is the new beginning to Peter and Mary Janes relationship and we all know where that leads! (If you don't know, wash the cheetos from your fingers, put some sunscreen on, head upstairs, crack open the basement door and have a chat with your folks)
Heading back to the real world *disappointed sigh here*,
