AMAZING SPIDER-MAN "Pull of the Prodigy" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

Spider-Man witnesses a load of young teens boarding a helicopter...late at night.

Webbing himself to the undercarriage, he's carried to an upstate mansion where the teens meet The Prodigy...who is actually an extraterrestrial alien with the ability to manipulate minds!

He's encouraging human teenagers to get pregnant and, since they are unprepared to raise and support the babies, allow him to take the children, ostensibly to have them adopted by foster families, but actually to kidnap them to his home planet, where they'll be raised as a slave labor force!

Using his vocal ability to manipulate the kids, he's providing them with mis-information about sex, and encourging them to...well...breed!

The comic ends with some useful suggestions as to where to get additional practical information...

Written by Ann Robinson of Planned Parenthood, and illustrated by the long-time team of penciler Ross Andru & inker Mike Esposito, this 1976 digest-sized giveaway was one of the first Public Service Announcement-type comics featuring Marvel or DC characters!

We've run a number of them on this blog!

You May Well Ask, "What Does This Scene Have to Do with Medicine?"

Well, the mention of Planned Parenthood in the opening caption is a pretty good clue!

Though we're pausing here before continuing next Friday, there's no reason for you to not see what's on page 16 right now...

After all, we wouldn't want you to do anything foolish between now and next Friday just because you didn't know!

GET LOST "Dr Jerkyll Became Mr Hide"

It's more "inspired" by the Robert Louis Stevenson tale than an adaptation...

...since it's set "present day" (1950s) and the dear doctor is a psychiatrist!

MikeRoss' Get Lost was one of numerous MAD comic clones that popped up in the mid-1950s when that humor comic became one of the hottest titles on the market...literally flying off newsstands!

The company, created by writer/artists Mike Esposito and Ross Andru (the "MikeRoss" of the company name) was meant to be a showcase for their talents.
They edited, wrote, and illustrated almost all the material, including this tale from #1 (1954).
Unfortunately, they debuted just as the legendary "Seduction of the Innocent" scandal (where comics were blamed for juvenile delinquency) hit the public consciousness!
Though all MikeRoss published were Get Lost, Heart and Soul (a romance comic) and a couple of 3-D books using modified Heart and Soul artwork, the company never really got off the ground as distributors became leery of handling any comics, much less titles from a brand-new company!
MikeRoss folded within a year, and the creators returned to working for others, enjoying long careers in the comics business until they passed away!
