O saddest Spider-Man comic It’s really strong. The message that is passed leaves many reflections on losses. With this, we can remember the importance of addressing this subject in stories that are, for the most part, aimed at young people.
A comic about losses
Spider-Man is usually linked to stories of action, adventure and challenges, and his stories are always focused on the struggles that need to be won to bring security to his city. However, life isn’t always about that, even for a superhero.
O “Blue Spider-Man“, by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, I wanted to make this very clear in a comic, after all, Peter Parker can also suffer like any other human being, despite being a little (perhaps a lot) different from the rest of the population.
What the authors wanted to portray was precisely the vulnerable part of Peter, who also suffers from his losses, especially from a person who was super important to him. We’re talking about Gwen Stacy, Parker’s first love.
Who was Gwen Stacy?
Gwen was a reserved and intellectual young woman who first appeared in “The Amazing Spider-Man #31” and later became Peter Parker’s girlfriend. She was the prettiest girl at the university, and of course that caught our Spider-Man’s attention.
They met through their friend, Harry Osborn. As a result, the two began to live together and the attraction became greater and greater.
However, his end was quite tragic. Parker’s then-girlfriend was murdered by the Green Goblin in “The Amazing Spider-Man”, in issue number 121.
Since the incident, the hero has suffered a lot, but his anguish has greatly diminished after meeting mary jane. His playful and relaxed way helped him overcome the loss of his loved one.
The saddest Valentine’s Day ever
Despite all this, the boy did not forget his first love, and this was clear in the comic below:
“So, it’s Valentine’s Day and there’s a place I stop by once a year.
Nobody knows.
I don’t pay much attention to it.”
