SPIDERMAN DEL 1 AL 770 (#46)

EL SINIESTRO CONMOCIONADOR!

Getting away from the quivering wall, Spidey uses his one good arm to grab a lamppost (also quivering), swing around and perch on it. There is smoke coming out of a second story window so Spidey sets up his automatic camera and swings in to see what's going on. He finds a fellow dressed in a brown and yellow quilt standing in front of an opened walk-in safe. There are packets of money on the floor and in an opened suitcase. When the villain turns and blurts out, "Spider-Man!" the web-slinger replies, "Well, I'm not Hubert Humphrey!" "And who was Hubert Humphrey?" I hear you ask. Well, at this point in time, he was Vice President of the United States. When the bad guy threatens to "ram those wise guy words right down [Spidey's] throat, the webhead says, "Not from over there you won't! Unless you can punch clear across a room!" But the villain makes a fist, clicks a button with his thumb and sends out "violent vibrations" towards the wall-crawler. "This is why they call me... the Shocker!" he brags. (So, let's see. Cover blurb: "You and Spidey are about to be jolted by the Sinister Shocker!" Splash page title: "The Sinister Shocker!" Page 2: "This is why they call me... the Shocker!" So I guess this guy's name is... The Shocker?) Spidey has taken his smart pills today and immediately deduces that this "must be how he opened the safe." In the time it takes the web-slinger to dodge the blast, the Shocker packs up the suitcase and starts to head out. But Spidey leaps down, balances with his good arm and springs up catching the Shocker in the jaw with two kicks. ("Now don't get the feeling I'm mad at you," says the wall crawler, "It's just that I hate anybody to skip around town in a jazzier costume than mine!") The Shocker drops the suitcase, which opens again, disgorging money. He turns and administers "a punch with a trip-hammer vibration shock added" that knocks Spidey backwards. He follows up with a left uppercut, claiming "the vibro-shock unit on my fists makes my blows a dozen times more potent than normal" as he punches. He also tells Spidey, "I'm more interested in my stolen wealth than I am in battling my inferiors!" (That's right! His "inferiors!" Hard to imagine the Shocker saying such things these days since he has mostly been reduced to being a joke)

Meanwhile, the wall has been completely demolished. Spidey lies on the rubble in the adjoining room, his feet still dangling on the wall's jagged remains. The Shocker, still on his ego trip, tells the half-conscious web-slinger, "Next time you'll know better than to challenge your superiors!" (He even thinks he is "the most invincible human on Earth." Does he know about "humans" like the Hulk and the Thing?) Then he picks up his suitcase and splits, leaving the wall- crawler to lick his wounds. It is only "seconds later" according to Stan that Spidey recovers but the Shocker is long gone. He gets to one knee and rubs the back of his neck. Then he returns to the window to check on his camera before descending to an alley to change out of his Spidey duds. As he puts a white shirt on over his outfit, Peter muses that his arm is "healing pretty well now!" But deciding to "keep it immobile for a little while longer" he dons a sling and starts walking to the Daily Bugle. Moments later, Harry Osborn pulls up in his convertible and offers Pete a lift. (Does Harry follow Peter around? He keeps showing up to offer Pete a lift in the heart of Manhattan. How does he do it?) Pete tells Harry that he's heading to the Bugle and Harry agrees to take him. Besides, "I've got an offer to make you, son," he tells Peter. Pete climbs in and Harry tells him that he has finally convinced his father that it is too much trouble to drive in to school every day from their home in Westchester. "Don't tell me he's buying you a whirlybird, Harr?" jokes Pete. "Better than that," Harry replies. His dad has gotten him an apartment "just a couple of blocks from campus" and it has two bedrooms. Harry asks Pete to join him as a roommate. When Pete tells him he probably can't afford it, Harry informs him that his dad is "footing the rent bill." Pete tells Harry that he'd "leap at it in a second" but he has to check with Aunt May first. Harry drops him off at the Bugle and Pete muses that, "it's funny the way Harry and I have become real good friends," which mostly happened between issues, didn't it? Let's check. In Amazing Spider-Man #39, August 1966, Harry snaps at Pete, then apologizes, prompting Peter to think "Something must be really bugging him! He's almost acting human!" In Amazing Spider-Man #42, November 1966, Harry defends Pete, telling Flash he's "probably got his reasons" for bowing out of a party. In Amazing Spider-Man #43, December 1966 he tells Flash, "isn't it time that you and Pete buried the hatchet?" In Amazing Spider-Man #44, January 1967, Pete hangs out with Gwen, Flash, and Harry at the Silver Spoon. MJ arrives and Harry is very impressed that Pete knows her. In Amazing Spider-Man #45, February 1967, Harry suggests that Pete could work part-time with his father. And that's about it. Now maybe Harry is just really impressed that Pete is going out with a knockout like Mary Jane but it's a big leap from what we've seen to asking a guy to be your roommate and becoming "real good friends." So, as I said, things must have happened between issues. Meanwhile, Pete further muses over the fact that Harry's father used to be the Green Goblin, a loose end that Peter doesn't seem one bit worried about. Instead, when Harry suggests that "next time you see Mary Jane, lemme know and I'll call Gwen" in order to "make a jazzy double-date," all Pete can think about is that Harry's "sure been seeing a lot of Gwen lately" and wondering why that bothers him. So immersed is Pete in such thoughts that he walks right past Frederick Foswell without responding to his "hello." This suits Foswell just fine because this gives him a chance to change into his Patch disguise and follow Peter in order to learn what connection there is between the college student and the web-slinger. (And Johnny draws Foswell with an evil leer on his face, perhaps foreshadowing the character's slide into crime and his eventual fate. But, er, that's a few months in the future and there's no indication of that as yet.) Meanwhile, Peter heads into JJJ's office with his photos of the Shocker. What transpires over the next five panels is another of Stan's great Jonah-Peter dialogues that deserves to be reprinted in its entirety.
