Spider-Girl's 20th Anniversary

Despite technically already missing the real 20th anniversary of May 'Mayday' Parker's first appearance in What If #105 by a few months (publication dates being earlier than the cover dates) I'm pleased to jump on the bandwagon in celebrating this momentous occasion!




Unfortunately I am currently experiencing laptop-related technical issues so the extent of my posting will be linking to other peoples wonderful work. So, apologies for that! A good friend of mine and all around prolific poster on tumblr has made a series of posts to celebrate May's anniversary. They can be found here: https://hellzyeahthewebwieldingavenger.tumblr.com/

The wonderful comic-fan-turned-professional Kat Calamia has conducted a great interview with the series creators Tom Defalco, Ron Frenz and Pat Olliffe over on Newsarama:

As I come across further celebrations, I'll try to post them. Hopefully my laptop won't give it's last gasp before then!

Until we get an announcement of a new series by the original team, I remain (hopefully)
