Beautiful Mutants 1971


Amazing Spider-Man #92 (January) When Iceman Attacks.

Stan Lee, Gil Kane, John Romita.

Bobby was the first to hop aboard the comeback special, here getting into the inevitable introductory pagga with Spider-Man before joining forces against a corrupt politician, or potential politician given that he hopefully lost the election after everyone read this issue - not that his behaviour would be much of an obstacle these days. If anything the racism and kidnapping would probably count as a qualification. Anyway, you can tell the comic biz was beginning to grow some balls regarding real world social issues, and this is a thoroughly satisfying issue of a comic I usually only read when there's a mutant involved because that's how I roll.
