![]() ![]() No prizes for guessing who Liz is thinking of there. Normie, being an easily swayed kid, lets himself be kidnapped. You might recollect Normie absolutely going to town on those dolls (does he have an endless supply of them?) back in Spectacular Spider-Man #200. He thwacks Spidey into the ground and turns to the kid: ![]() ![]() Here’s the villain of the piece, an intimidating “Scrier Jr” who’s there to kidnap Normie. Out of immediate danger, Spider-Man tries to help Liz and her son, but Normie still blames Spider-Man for his father’s death. ![]() Some members of the Scrier! Now if you don’t know how these guys are, they’re a cabal Norman allied himself with after his “return from the dead.” has a little write-up on them here. Peter is angsting on a water tower when he hears a scream, and he follows the sound to Liz’s apartment. …kinda feels like a rebuttal to that one? Following so far? Anyway, this story, “Old Acquaintances”… Harry, created by our Harry but not really anything like him, and that “Harry” tried to kidnap Normie and turn him into a new Green Goblin. Harry-wise, the last time we’d seen “him” was in Legacy of Evil. (Though isn’t it always?) At this point Mary Jane had been “killed” in a plane crash – I believe it was the outrage from fans which led to her being back before too long – but Aunt May was alive again! Oh, and Norman was too, of course. It was a strange time for Spider-Man fans. This almost completely unknown story showed up at the turn of the millennium in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2000. The distant sounds of ASM #74 are still ringing in my ears, so how about we take a look at the first time Harry came back from the dead? Yep, the first time. ![]()
