    On the Trail of the Amazing Spider-Man! last edited by cloudguy on 05/31/18 08:11AM View full history

    A jealous Human Torch wanted to derail Spidey’s day, but now the hothead is helping the Wall-Crawler take down notorious art thief, The Fox!

    On the Trail of the Amazing Spider-Man

    When Spider-Man finds himself framed by a larcenist named the Fox, he seeks aid in clearing his name from a fellow teenage crime fighter and Fantastic Four member the Human Torch. Convincing the fiery-tempered flame master that our favorite wall-crawler is innocent of the theft of a rare Leonardo da Vinci painting isn't an easy feat however. Can Spider-man acquire an ally and recover the missing masterpiece before the cops put the kibosh on his crime fighting career?

    Fantastic Two 0

    We've got ourselves a little bit of a partnership here as Spider-Man and The Human Torch team up to hunt themselves a painting stealing fox. What follows is an adventure that relies far too heavily on luck and a very odd use of Spider-Man’s spidey sense which makes the plot a bit of a non starter. That said the bringing together of Spider-Man and Johnny Storm gives us some wonderful back and forth dialogue.The dialogue is slightly more fiery, if you’ll pardon the pun, than the normal...

    Last month in Strange Tales #112 we had an entire issue that tried (poorly) to convince readers that somehow young bullheaded Johnny Storm was a superhero not because he wanted fame and publicity, but because he felt it the right thing to do. Of course, it was a flimsy premise because we know from everything beforehand developed with Johnny that this isn't exactly true to his character and that he does get off on being something of a celebrity.
