If Sam Rami made any bad Spider-Man movies, I must have missed 'em.

This one certainly made my spider-sense tingle, with amazing action scenes and a complex villain who starts out good, turns real bad, and struggles back to the light of righteousness at the end -- just before he dies.

Better late than never.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker develops a psychosomatic illness that causes him to be normal, and M.J. gets engaged to a live action version of Major Matt Mason, American Astronaut.

The action is remarkable: Doctor Octopus makes like King Kong and climbs a building while clutching poor Aunt Mae, who learns first hand why Faye Wray screamed so much. Spider-Man stops a bank robbery, and in the climax he acts out the most famous scene in the Spider-Man comics -- the one where he lifts a mammoth weight during his battle with Doc Oc.

I used to have that issue -- Spider-Man #33 -- along with Amazing Tales #15, which is now worth more than my house . . .

The website where I got the jpegs below described that scene like this:

" . . . the single most famous sequence in Spider-Man history, a bit that has "inspired" countless Spider-Man stories ever since, the classic Amazing Spider-Man #33."

I agree.

I once had a conversation with a guy who owned a comic shop about those pages and he was totally taken with that issue! Sadly his shop only lasted for a few months in the nineties before it vanished without a trace!

When I was a teenager (almost a Teenage Caveman, it was so long ago), I was amazed at how good that issue was.

When I turned the page and was hit by the full-page frame of Spider-Man lifting the huge weight, it thrilled me to the core! Cool
