Oct/Nov 1964 - Still the Ditko/Lee show...
#17 has Spidey squaring off with the Green Goblin again. More threats from Aunt May to set him up with this "Mary Jane Watson" girl she keeps talking about, heh heh. But one thing is for sure, Stan Lee sure had a good time with the Liz/Betty Brant appeal for Petey. And with Flash trying to start up the Spider-Man fan club, who knows how crazy things could get for the webslinger. Also, Human Torch is a dick - always showing off. It's no wonder they put the FF in so many books back then.
#18 is the first issue, according to Stan, that doesn't actually feature SM fighting anyone. Instead, Flash, in his love for Spidey in direct correlation with his hatred of Peter Parker, goes out dressed as Spiderman an gets beat up. So it looks like he's over Spiderman, but it also looks like Betty Brant is over Peter. Something else though that jumped out at me, is HOW OLD IS AUNT MAY? She has to be like 90, describing her ailments and such. I don't know how long Spiderman stays a teenager, but Aunt May must really be doing some good living to have this longevity.
