Genres: superhero

Character(s): Spider-Man [Peter Parker]; Mary Jane Watson; Mrs. Watson (MJ's aunt Anna); J. Jonah Jameson; Electro [Max Dillon] (origin recap); Captain Stacy; Flash Thompson; Harry Osborne; Robbie Robertson; Marvin (talk show host)

First Line: Weary and dejected, a brooding youth sits motionless in the silence of his room...

Synopsis: Peter decides that it would be good for his public image to go on a TV talk show. Unfortunately he chooses a network where Max Dillon [Electro] works. In collusion with Jameson, Electro attacks Spider-Man live on stage. Spidey defeats him, but it is a Pyrrhic victory - Peter is as beat up as Max.

Notes: The "Midnight Talk Show" host, Marvin, is modeled after Merv Griffin (with his co-host modeled after Arthur Treacher). Marie Severin redrew their faces (pencils and inks) on pages 14 and 15.

There is a great two-panel scene where the web-head - in Peter-civvies with a bag on his head - swings into a laundromat to wash his costume in preparation for the show.
