Description"Whose Life Is It Anyway?" I've had this for a bit, and finally finding a little bit of itme to post. I have the complete chapter as it was the back up story from Amazing Spider-Man #400 This was the back up story that ran a few issues with Ben Reilly coming to terms with everything. This was continued from Amazing Spider-Man #400 and then part 3 was in Spectacular Spider-Man #233 before going into Spider-Man: The Lost Years #1.And there's a GREAT 2 pages of Spider-Man with The Jackal, Kraven, Dr. Octoopus and Green Goblin. Showing the colored pages, but I have the complete story, so will post the rest soon'ish. Synopsis for 2nd story This story continues from Amazing Spider-Man #400... Five Years May Parker is busy doing dishes in her kitchen when suddenly she feels a presence of someone familiar standing at her front door. Going out to look, she finds nobody waiting outside and goes back to her housework. No sooner as she is gone, the clone of Peter Parker leaps out of the nearby tree to the ground below. With his borrowed memories of Peter Parker's life, the clone can't help but cry to himself. He recalls how Aunt May was always there to help Peter Parker deal with his problems and give him advice. Unfortunately, this is not going to be one of those times because he is not really Peter Parker, but a clone.[Continuity2 3] His sadness quickly changes to anger and he leaps over the fence, vowing never to come back again. Later, the clone of Peter Parker finds himself at Grand Central Station in Manhattan. There he buys a ticket to San Francisco in order to get as far away from New York as possible. As he works his way through the crowds to catch his bus, he thinks how he was only created to be the plaything of Miles Warren, the Jackal, to use against the real Spider-Man. On the bus, the clone finds himself sitting next to a portly man who won't stop talking about his life. Since he is not the real Peter Parker, the clone decides that he has no reason to be polite and tells the man to shut up. The man quiets quickly, allowing the clone to fall asleep. Unfortunately, his dream is very unpleasant. In it, he is dressed up as Spider-Man and is surrounded by Kraven the Hunter, Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin, and Electro. Although he defeats these foes, he is confronted by the Jackal. The mad scientist reminds the Spider-Clone that he is nothing more than a puppet he created and that it has no identity of its own. To demonstrate this, the Jackal then removes the Spider-Man mask and then shreds off the face of Peter Parker, leaving a blank face behind it. The dream ends with the Parker clone falling down a pit. His fall is witnessed by Ben and May Parker. His pleas for their help go unheard as he spirals down the bottomless void. Suddenly, the Parker clone wakes up to discover that the rainy conditions have caused his bus to skid out of control. With everyone's life in jeopardy, the clone contemplates using his powers to save everyone on board the bus. ... The Parker Legacy continues in Spectacular Spider-Man #223. Social/Sharing |

It's art like this where for me.. JRJR is at his best. He brings a sense of mood and realism to regular (unmasked) characters. Peter looks great here. Brilliant pick up!

You can tell Sr. deferred to Jr. on this to let more of the modern look take over. You can still see Sr.'s line evident on the clothing and the hairstyle. Very much a classic from comics royalty.

Killer title splash!! Really dig the Spidey head in the background. And I had an affinity for Pete's longer haired look at the time :) Congrats!
