Spiderman 1 and 2.

The whole theme is about taking responsibilty for ones actions (”with great power comes great reasponisbility”). Spidey sacrifices his own happiness for the sake of those he loves, as his Aunt May does for him. He sacrifices his chance for love with Mary Jane because it would endanger her, until she refuses and sacrifices her safety for their love. On a more mundane level, he struggles to put himself through school as a freelance photographer (no student aid!). What’s more conservative than family and personal responsibility?

Steve Ditko, is a name I didn’t hear of until long after he’d already been sitting in my head for 20 years.

Now I know why I think and act the way I do because I loved reading about Peter Parker.
