I never realised the troubles in Ireland had such a simple explanation! There's a lot of story in this for one issue, so I'm not surprised the plot resorts to Deus Ex Machina in places. Great detective work to suss out the creators. Cheers Whoa! I never realised the troubles in Ireland had such a simple explanation!

Yeah... I had one like that too. A little "V" cut into the neck and that was your collar. Materials varies of course, depending on the season, but spring and summer clothes were a material that was was some weird nylon/poly blend and looked, folded and felt like nothing else. Light but voluminous. Don't get me started on the day-glo and pastel colors that were in then. That was hard for me to go through, being a fan of darker shades, myself. :-) ~P~ P-TOR Oh… almost forgot…

The jackets ended right at the waist. 1980's clothing (well, heck almost EVERYTHING in the 80's) was inspired by the 1940's style a bit. A famous joke is that the 80's were like the 40's, but with cocaine (I however, did not partake of any, BTW). Oh, and the collar isn't designed any differently than most collars today. We just wore them "up". I kinda miss wearing my collars up. Ah...the 80's... good times. ;-) ~P~ P-TOR Apodaca,

The origin of the ROse was a highlight of Web. Probably the best issue they did--other than the Kraven's Last Hunt--but that spanned all 3 Spidey titles at the time. I liked this issue.

Aside from her spandex pants, those are imaginary comic book clothes. The jackets don't look like any kind of material I've ever seen used for clothing, Peter's shirt has a Batman Beyond-esque collar, or lack thereof, and I think his jacket is tucked into his pants.

They even have their own on-staff supervillain to beat up pesky heroes snooping around. Anyone else remember Sunturion? I have to say, the portrayal of things in Northern Ireland sounds pretty lame. Rather than address the real conflict, they just created a random terrorist group with ties to the British government. I can't help but wonder if the original story had it straight up IRA vs. Orangemen, and they had to change it to avoid controversy. (That would explain the dual writing credit, as well as the second writer being Shooter.) Ah, Roxxon. They even have their own on-staff supervillain to beat up pesky heroes snooping around.

I went to the OHOTMU Appendix and I was absolutely floored that Roxxon's had like a hundred appearances/mentions since '75, all scattered throughout a host of Marvel titles. Somehow, I managed to avoid every single random comic manifestation of the Roxxon behemoth. How is that even possible? A statistician's nightmare! Anyone else run into something like this, a character or concept you think is relatively new and turns out to be omnipresent everywhere you aren't?

(#15 was my first issue). That list of credits you linked to is enormously sad. Apart from a seven issue run by David Michelinie (14-20), Web of Spider-Man didn't hold onto a regular writer for longer than five issues until issue #50. The same is true for most of the artists, and running down the list I notice Vince Colletta's name showing up quite a bit. From my entire run of the book, I remember the introduction of Humbug, the origin of the Rose, and editor Jim Salicrup appearing as a lingerie photographer in the Cult of Love storyline. That's it.
