As a conservative I have my share of issues with Planned Parenthood based on what you DON’T hear about them in the press. However, for this article link my problem with them isn’t social or political but that they’re responsible for a Spider-Man story so bad that Linkara and my Reviewers Unknown colleague Writrzblok should be fighting to be the first one to review it, or maybe do a crossover. Instead, Retronaut Amanda is the one to bring us a tale in which an alien wants to trick teens into having lots of sex so they can have babies for him to kidnap and form a slave race on his home planet. My god, I wish I was kidding. This may be the dumbest Spider-Man adventure to not involve Mephisto ever!
More like “rage of the jilted fanboy”, really.

“Titan Times Two!” WRITER: Doug Moench PENCILER: Herb Trimpe INKER: Fred Kida COLORIST: Phil Rache (sorry I can’t judge your work again) LETTERER: Denise Wohl EDITOR: Archie Goodwin For some reason some of the credits were missing in the book. Like it would say “inker” but no credit next to it. I’m going by the Grand Comics Database on this one.
Remember when Superman was fun? DC wants you to forget fun altogether unless killing heroes, dismemberment, and boobs all in your face is your idea of fun. They’re all for you then. But I want to look at a Superman story from my youth. Namely, this one.
Superman…smiling? When will you see that again?
This is from the Peter Pan Book & Record series. They made a lot of licensed book & record comics, including other DC characters, horror stories like Frankenstein and Dracula (possibly the Marvel Dracula and it was all kid-friendly stuff), and TV shows like Star Trek. I have one of the Star Trek stories and we’ll get to that someday.
There are two things in this review you don’t usually get in a “Scanning My Collection” article. One is what you’re not getting: credits. I can’t seem to find concrete proof of who worked on this comic or the accompanying audio so I can’t really comment on them. The other is audio actually showing you the story in a rather decent presentation combining the audio (minus the page change noises) and the comic panels. So watch for yourself…”City Under Siege”! Bing.
This is where all the laughter of the Bat franchise went to?
