SPIDEY TP #1

FIRST DAY

(W) Robbie Thompson (A) Nick Bradshaw (CA) Nick Bradshaw

Think you know everything about Peter Parker? Think again! Expect action, adventure and hilarity in equal measure as we head back to high school to explore Pete's early days! Modern talent combines with the classic Marvel flavor to present the web-slinger's wonder years in truly amazing, spectacular, sensational style. It's a return to the hassles of overdue homework, not knowing how to talk to girls and a never-ending merry-go-round of madness courtesy of the best rogues' gallery in comics! We're talking Doctor Octopus, Sandman, the Vulture and...Doctor Doom! But could our young hero ever be ready for an arch-nemesis like the Green Goblin? With these and more faces from Peter's past - both familiar and surprising - you'll remember what made Spider-Man the world's greatest hero in the first place! Collecting SPIDEY #1-6. Rated T

When Patrick's allergies cause him and Larry to be marooned far from Bikini Bottom, it's all Larry can do to keep his buff composure and rock-hard cool! Will sea monsters, tidal waves, and a distressing lack of free weights prove deadlier than being stuck 24-7 with Patrick? Plus, SpongeBob catches a magic jellyfish; Gary loses his bowl, a new "SpongeFunnies" from James Kochalka; and more ocean facts from Maris Wicks!
