DIAL B: The Final Chapter!

DIAL B for BLOG has the second in pivotal comics in Robby's life--and I too vividly remember the impact this comic book had on me when I was a wee lad... but it's not Robby's Final Chapter after all... thankfully: "In our last issue, we saw how a single page from Action Comics #332 changed Robby Reed's entire life. Today, we're going to take a look at the second comic book story to play a decisive role in the formation of young Robby Reed -- it's a Spider-Man adventure from 1965/1966, plotted and drawn by the legendary Steve Ditko, and scripted by the one and only Stan Lee.

The first chapter in this three-issue story was titled 'If This Be My Destiny,' followed by 'Man On A Rampage.' Then came the concluding chapter, 'The Final Chapter,' featuring what Stan Lee rightfully calls 'one of the most famous five-page sequences in the history of comicdom.' If Spidey should still exist in a thousand years, they will still look back upon the events in this story and say, 'This was Spider-Man's finest hour!'"
