Description
Spidey gets zapped by the Mad-Thinkers anti-memory ray and has to rely on the assistance of some school-age kids to remember who he is. In this page, the kids are re-instructing Spidey about his powers, even using a copy of ASM 3 featuring his first introduction to Doctor Octopus as a teaching tool.


Once upon a time this collector was struggling with some subjects in school, the folks came up with an idea of enrolling me in an after school tutoring program called Sylvan Learning Centers. They had rewards for doing well and getting work done. One such reward was the comic book these pages were from, a Marvel/Sylvan partnership one-shot featuring the Amazing Spider-Man battling "Ignorance" (The Mad-Thinker). I still have my original copy. I was surprised to say the least when I saw these pages go up for sale. Alas I only ended up with half of them but I am still very pleased that I can add these to the "firmly nostalgic" part of my collection.


Penciled and inked by Alan Kupperberg (a rare occurance) I enjoyed reading it over and over as a kid, the way he draws Spidey is clean and easy to digest.

These are cool!  Spider-Man was more relatable to the masses and became an even bigger icon by going out to be seen all across different sectors of the public!

Right, back when comics were still mainly for kids but not all kids were exposed to them. Spidey showing his relatability here.

I love this!! And it's def believable in the 90s some kids would have a copy of an ASM grail like the 1st Doc Ock. These days, not so much lol. Awesome page

I think a lot of us learned to read by digesting lots and lots of comics. As a kid I used to spend an extraordinary amount of time pouring through comics with my best friend. He had a comic collection that was humongous and I was determined to read them all. Forget reading "Pride and Prejudice," I was reading "The Incredible Hulk" So I love that you've been buying a lot of pages from "Amazing Spider-Man Battles Ignorance." It's fun and nicely drawn and I'm sure a lot of kids would rather read this than say, "Great Ezpectations." Fantastic pick-up, Justin, congrats!

Awesome story about how you first ran into this comic! I love the idea that Spider-Man and other comic book characters can be used to teach kids. Why not? Kids love comics and if that will encourage them to study more or to read more, I'm all for it. This is a fantastic pick-up, congrats!
