DeFalco/Frenz Restrospective: Sensational Spider-Man: Self-Improvement #1
Writer: Tom DeFalco
Penciler: Ron Frenz
Penciler: Ron Frenz
Synopsis: Spider-Man helps a young man who is at a crossroads bring his uncle's killers to justice.
Comments: While not a carjacking, the death of the uncle and his dying in the street reminds me of how Uncle Ben died in the first Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire.
That pose of Spider-Man coming in. Can't remember where I've seen it before.
Spider-Man is too fast for automatic weapons fire.
Spider-Man finds out the young man is named Peter and so was his uncle. I guess it would have been too on the nose if the uncle was named Peter and the nephew was named Ben? Spider-Man giving advice to a nephew reminds of Spider-Man #26 that was by DeFalco, Frenz and Bagley where Spider-Man met the nephew of the burglar who killed Uncle Ben.
