1967 The Amazing Spider-Man 51-52 : In the Clutches of...the Kingpin! | To Die a Hero!

Episode 32.  Eddie and James B discuss two Lee/Romita issues from the summer of 1967 in which Frederick Foswell joins the Kingpin instead of trying to take over as the head of the mob.  Other notable moments include: The Kingpin kidnapping J. Jonah Jameson and trying to drown JJJ and Spidey, the first appearance of Joe Robertson (which is ignored by Eddie), and the death of a recurring character suffering a heroic death (hint: it is not Irving Forbush).   Also a new sponsor joins the podcast.
