The Amazing Spider-Man 94-95 : ft. The Beetle , Gwen Stacy & What If Someone Else Had Been Bitten By The Radioactive Spider?

Episode 61.  Eddie and James B are celebrating 6 months of podcasting with really good microphones (only took 6 months) while discussing issues 94 and 95 of The Amazing Spider-Man.  In ASM 94 “On Wings of Death”  Peter is still torn up about Gwen leaving to live in London. Across town we see the Beetle breaking into random mom and pops stores. Eventually the Beetle finds the one he wants adjacent to a bank vault and takes Aunt May hostage during the robbery.  

In ASM 95 (05:30) "Trap for a Terrorist!" (which Eddie decided to call “Spidey Fights in London!” because it says that on the cover), Peter returns to staring at the ground while walking about thinking about Gwen in London. In a rare stroke of luck Robbie decides to send him to London on the Daily Bugle’s dime!  While landing in London, it is discovered that the plane contains a terrorist bomb!  Peter wants to switch to Spider-Man but realizes Gwen will know he’s Spider-man if she learns Peter is also in London!  What will he do?

Special Bonus (14:20) What If Someone Else Besides Spider-Man Had Been Bitten By The Radioactive Spider? from the comic What If Volume 1, issue 7. Reviewing how Flash, Betty or John Jameson would have been as Spider-Man instead of Peter Parker.
