Peter catches up with May in the hospital then gets friendly with Gwen's father the retired police Captain Stacy. MJ gets a job dancing at a club but unfortunately for her the Brainwasher is running the place and she gets dragged into his scheme of brainwashing poor Captain Stacy.
Its nice that after all of the negativity thrown Peter's way that he has time to reconcile and catch up with the gang.
NB. Top of page 4 Aunt May's dialogue is in a thought bubble but it must have been a very loud thought as the doctor responds!

This issue is mainly a conclusion to the amnesia plot with a quite decent explanation of Peter whereabouts to his environment and police and a build up for the next story.
The best part is the character development that takes place throughout the issue, demonstrating why Spider-man series are so great, even when there's no super-villain or an interesting scheme from a bad guy. I think that those years, only Fantastic Four are close to Spider-man rich supporting cast.
Captain Stacy is a great addition and Gwen is evolving to a richer character than the unidimensional and crazy Mary Jane.
I like Don Heck, but i prefer when John Romita draws alone the series. Ever Since Romita is only in charge of the layouts and Don Heck on finishing the drawing, the artwork especially on faces has lost quality.

Amazing Spider-Man #59 is a fun, offbeat issue that blends Peter’s personal life with a bizarre yet entertaining villain plot. Mary Jane becoming a go-go dancer adds a splash of ’60s flair, but things take a dark turn when it’s revealed that the club is actually a front for a brainwashing scheme led by the mysterious Dr. Winkler.
The highlight of this issue is Peter reconnecting with his friends and even forming a bond with Captain Stacy, adding a nice moment of positivity to his usually chaotic life. Of course, this peace doesn’t last long—Captain Stacy becomes one of Dr. Winkler’s unfortunate victims, setting up a new conflict for Spidey to tackle.

Dengan memanfaatkan sebuah pesta dansa, seseorang mencoba mencuci otak para tamu penting yang hadir di situ. Untunglah Peter Parker juga ikut diundang di situ. Spider-Man hampir saja bisa menyelamatkan Kapten Stacy dari mesin pencuci otak seandainya saja dalang di balik kejahatan itu tidak muncul secara tiba-tiba.

Super fun! Gotta love the old amnesia storyline for the telenovela flavour. Also Gwen and Peter’s first kiss!
