In 1982 Marvel Tales editor Tom DeFalco began running Spider-Man stories from the very beginning featuring the earliest adventures by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. The original work was reprinted with some alterations to timely pop culture references.
That's the first batch. More tomorrow.

Though I understand why it's done, I've always preferred reprints where the cultural references aren't "updated". Marvel UK, for instance, would occasionally (and clumsily) change "Russian" to "Bodavian".
ReplyDeleteSometimes vintage cultural references are obscure or socially insulting, but I think these things should be reprinted in original form always.
