Fun is fun, but swinging around Manhattan tends to lose its appeal after the first three hours!

Spider-Man swung his dark blue-clad legs out before him, propelling himself through the air high above the New York streets. He flew from webbing to webbing, methodically crisscrossing the city. His senses were alert, searching. As soon as he was near those he sought, his spider sense would let him know.

Assuming they’re still in the city!

The Web-slinger dropped to a ledge and perched there for a moment searching through the night. I suppose I shouldn’t complain. All things considered, things haven’t gone so well for me in a long time. A bunch of two-bit thugs up to no good isn’t anything all that new that it should bug me. They’re around somewhere and sooner or later our paths are going to cross.

And when they do, I’m gonna make sure they let me in on their larcenous little secrets! I just hate mysteries!

Once again the Web-slinger launched himself into the night sky. And even more than that, this particular mystery’s keeping me away from one of the more pleasant ways to spend a cold winter eve . . . namely hanging out in front of a nice cozy fireplace in the company of one Ms. Cindy Sayers, lady private eye and all around nifty person.

The costumed youth chuckled as he swept through the air. Mr. Parker, you are one lucky arachnid to have a lady like her . . . especially after a couple or three bad-news relationships that were about as successful as George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign.

But stability has at last returned to the life of our boy hero and romance is blossoming! Besides that, things couldn’t be better on other fronts. Aunt May’s in tip-top shape, still worrying about me catching cold, God bless her. Who else would call long distance from her vacation with her cousins in Arizona to remind me to wear my galoshes?

Even Jameson’s paying relatively good bucks for my photos and my graduate-school studies have been smooth sailing for the last couple of months!

Sheesh, I hope I can adjust to the sudden shock of all this good luck. I’m just not used to it!

Spidey’s deliberate search of Manhattan had brought him back to the southern tip of the island. He swung through the silence of the financial district for several minutes, but his senses alerted him to nothing. The Wall-crawler turned and headed back up north on Broadway.

As usual, Greenwich Village was as alive and busy as ever despite the two feet of snow on the sidewalks and streets, and the arctic-like temperatures that gripped the city. I don’t really think those thugs I’m looking for are going to spend their first night out of the hoosegow sightseeing along Eighth Street, do I? Naw, dudes like that’d want to go someplace where they can relax and calm their poor, shattered senses, like a bar!

Spidey turned on to Mercer Street and landed on top of the awning over the entrance to an apartment building.
