The Baxter Building

There's a theory that the comics you love are those ranging from ten years before you started reading them up to ten years afterwards. Should that be the case, you'll mostly find things here from the sixties and seventies. Insta: thebaxterbldg

In this story, Spider-Man, having swung over a chimney belching soot, has to wash his suit at a laundrette, so he’s forced to wear a paper bag mask. Funny enough, I vividly recall the Spidey paper bag mask given away with the first issue of Marvel UK’s Spider-Man Comics Weekly.

Seems Giant-Man fights crime in his socks.

I had no idea Giant-Man / Ant-Man used to travel in a thimble-sized rocket. What happened to the flying ants?

Not surprised the Wasp wants to walk out on Giant-Man. I mean, look what the guy has pinned inside his wardrobe.

Matt crosses a professional boundary. You horndog!

The guy in the background is going “Oof! That outfit!”

One more instance of Spidey besting someone stronger than him. Love that bathing cap.

An example of how brilliant John Romita was as a cover and poster designer for Marvel in the 60s and 70s. No wonder they made him art director.

Poor Peter. Poor Gwen.

Great story. Somebody should film it one of these days.
