The Dance

 

I’ve briefly touched on the cat burglar character Claw in a very old post where I mentioned his second and to-date final appearance in the Amazing Spider-Man Magazine from 2007, but today I thought it might be more helpful to simply share this obscure prose story in it’s entirely. ‘The Dance’ is written by Tom Defalco with art by Ron Lim, Scott Koblish and Avalon’s Rob Ro.

 

 

 

For background, this story seems to take place shortly after Amazing Spider-Girl #13. This is evident from the references in that story to ‘the big dance’ which is not depicted in the Amazing Spider-Girl series proper, but instead sets up the prose story ‘The Dance’. Additionally, in ‘The Dance’ May mentioned her recent break- up with Gene Thompson, so this story takes place before they get back together Amazing Spider-Girl #18.

In 2009 this story was reprinted in the Spider-Man: Spider-Women digest alongside the Spider-Man Family One-Shot MC2 story featuring Araña aka Anya Corazon. As both the original magazine and the digest are hard to find, I thought this might help some of the newer readers to fill in this fairly minor gap in their read throughs. Enjoy!

 

Until I find a new previously unknown MC2 story to talk about, I remain
