DescriptionMarvel 1974Ladies and gentlemen, here for the first time..... The Spider-Mobile! An historical moment in Spider-Man's history! :-) With designs made by Spider-Man (Peter Parker), the Human Torch (Johnny Strom) built the vehicle from hand. Approached by two advertising executives called Carter and Lombardo, Spider-Man was offered to advertise a new car with a Corona Engine built by Corona Motors, whom the two executives were representing. Initially refusing, due to his thinking that Spider-Man was a bad choice to advertise a car, Spider-Man later accepted because of a threat of eviction for his overdue rent. As Spider-Man accepted their cash settlement, he found out there was a catch: he had to build the car from scratch. Turning to his friend Johnny Storm, whose mechanical expertise came in handy while building the vehicle, the Spider-Mobile was soon up and running. The Spider-Mobile has a spider-signal spotlight and webbing that can be shot out of the front of the vehicle. The Spider-Mobile also contains an ejector seat for emergencies. By pressing a button in the car, the Spider-Mobile can be disguised to look like an inconspicuous '50s Chevrlolet fleetline. After Tinkerer’s adjustments, the vehicle could be driven by remote control, drive up walls and launch gas bombs. These gas bombs were able to temporarily nullify Spider-Man’s wall-crawling abilities and jam his web-shooters. I also own the next page to this, page 11. In 2022 the page was exhibited during the Milan Comic Con for the 80 years of Spider-Man. 10.5"x16" Social/Sharing |

Ivan, I am so glad this ended up in your collection. You now have a great, historic sequence about one of the whackiest ideas from Marvel in the '70s. And great art from Andru. Great addition!

The Spider-Mobile was a beloved piece of Spider-Man history that was probably introduced more as a way to sell toys than to really shake up the storylines of the day. Either way, it's cherrished by collectors today!

Oh, I know I have looked at this page before, just surprised I have never left a comment. Of his regular inkers, I enjoyed Frank's work the best over Andru's pencils. I missed this issue off the stands and got it from the "annoying" kid back in school. Awesome you have back to back pages.
