Back in the funky '70s the party didn't ever stop

Hey, remember when Spider-Man went to the opening night of Star Trek: The Motion Picture?

Nope, me neither.

Despite being cover dated 1980, how seventies is this comic? Well, besides ST:TMP(TGOFTL), this ish also guest-stars...The Disco Dazzler! Why, it's the most seventiest comic book of them all!


Hey, look in that last panel...Klingons! That's Marv Wolfman's wily plug in the pages of this Spider-Man for his own Star Trek comic!

Oh, ho ho ho ho, it's a comment on the insanity of blockbuster movies and theatergoers in the 1970s!


Spider-Man, Dazzler, and William Shatner's hairpiece were arrested on multiple counts of being too seventies for the eighties. In a moment, the results of that trial.
