Welcome to the debut installment of Newlywebs, a retrospective on the early marriage years of a certain web-slinging wonder and his redheaded bride. In our opening chapter, we’ll set the stage for 1987’s wedding of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson…a cheap publicity stunt, or the organic evolution of a beloved hero’s personal life? And if you have any favorite memories of the Peter and MJ nuptials you’d like to share, let me hear them. Just leave a comment, or contact me on Twitter.
What do I hope to accomplish with this series? Is it an examination of why Spider-Man’s marriage stirs such heated emotions within fandom? A look at the conflicting views of corporate interests versus genuine reader investment? A stinging indictment of editorial longing for a bygone, idealized status quo that’s alienated a devoted fanbase? An excuse to revisit old comics a middle-aged author recalls pulling off the spinner rack? Perhaps it’s all these things and more.
Priest once wrote at length about his days as spider-editor on his website, acknowledging that he was probably too green at that time to be taking over such an important line of titles, and also that his reminiscences are, well, his. Other creators might have their own take on how events played out. Reading through the various accounts, there might be contradictions in a few areas, but I don’t believe anyone’s being intentionally deceitful.
