Spidey gets tagged teamed by Kraven (K) and the (new) Vulture (V) - even as Peter Parker is getting over a cold at his new bachelor pad! This V is much more bloodthirsty! Just an aside: Ever notice how much K looks like J. Jonah Jameson? Romita really does a great job on the 'fighting panels' - great battle ish that is a great example of Lee/Romita greatness!

"PeTeR iS sO frAgILE"

A happy thought of mine is that: if Aunt May (in the Amazing run always) is an old frail woman in the 60s, then even her skeleton is dust in her grave by now. Other than that awful, toxic, bitch, I had fun with this issue and I love the illustrations!

Spider-Man is left fallen, after been stricken with a virus and finished off by The Vulture and to make things worse Kraven has caught up with the wall-crawler. Lucky for Parker Kraven equally wishes to prove his dominance over The Vulture.

Confusingly Aunt May calls for the doctor to check in on bed ridden Peter however she’s told that “he’s in surgery” – so is he a part time surgeon or part time doctor?! Anyway that nit-pick doesn’t stop this from being another Romita and Lee classic.

Reread for My Marvelous Year 6: 1967 pt.1

Highlight: spidey punching “vulture” and Kraven at the same time. Lowlight: come on, Kraven…throwing your tiger is not cool.

Read for Vulture Vs. Kraven, and the 2nd appearance of Kraven’s nipple rays!

Spider-Man, already weakened by a mysterious virus, finds himself the target of two formidable foes: the relentless Kraven the Hunter and the vengeful Vulture. The stakes are high as these two villains not only threaten Spider-Man’s life but also vie for supremacy over each other, creating a dynamic and unpredictable conflict. The tension is palpable, and watching Spidey navigate this dual threat while barely clinging to his strength keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Romita Sr.'s illustrations are, as always, spectacular. His art captures the raw energy of the battles and the vulnerability of Peter Parker’s condition. The fluidity of Spider-Man's movements, even when he's at his weakest, and the menacing presence of both villains are brought to life with incredible detail. Romita's knack for emotional expressions adds depth, especially in scenes with Aunt May, who is as worried as ever.

Lee’s dialogue is sharp, capturing the essence of each character, from Spider-Man’s quick-witted quips to Kraven’s prideful arrogance. The pacing is well-balanced, alternating between pulse-pounding action and quieter, character-driven moments.

Peter recovers from his illness, fights the Vulture and Kraven, and…Kraven has a pet tiger solely to prove to himself he’s strong? Sounds about right to me. ANYWAYS. We’ve got some silly moments, such as Harry being a little heartthrob and Peter’s usual mid-combat quips. And hey, Harry tried getting everyone to be quiet while Peter was trying to get some rest! What a nice pal. (I’m totally normal about him)

Kali ini Spider-Man harus berhadapan dengan dua musuh besarnya: Kraven the Hunter yang pada cerita sebelumnya berhasil lolos dari perkelahiannya dengan Spider-Man dan Vulture baru yang baru saja mengalahkan pahlawan kita itu. Untunglah kali ini Peter Parker sudah sembuh dari flunya.

Another 3.5 star thriller. Reading through several of Kraven’s first appearances.

In this one it’s actually Kraven vs the Vulture! Kraven thinks the Vulture killed Spidey before he got the chance so he goes after the old bird. This was a fun one.
