Spidey and Fist fight a guy named Drom who is aging backwards.

Not just that, he also TALKS backwards. It turns out, he was born this way but actually was born as a baby and then suddently became an adult and…You know what, it doesn’t make sense. Or matter.
Because he just gets punched anyway. And then he de-ages into a baby and disappears.

One thing I really liked about Marvel Comics in the ’70s and ’80s was how much of New York was in the stories.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, and when they’d do stuff like explain real-life city planning, it made Marvel’s books more vital to me. It’s why I preferred Marvel to DC.
