366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson, Day 49: Peter Parker Picks a Peck of Puberty

Jolly Jonah Jameson has "invited" amazing Peter Parker and sassy Gwen Stacy to accompany him to the Savage Land for a circulation-boosting story on the Earth-616's real-life Jurassic Park! So what's the purpose of this trip, aside from getting Gil Kane to draw some dandy dinosaurs? Well, Peter Parker's gonna take photographs...

VA-VA-VOOM!

Please note that a more modern Marvel Ms., Jessica Jones, turned down the a very similar sort of adventure. Aw.

366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson, Day 39: Yet another reason we need to get J.K. Simmons into the MCU

One of my favorite J. Jonah Jameson issues is Alias #10, in which Jonah hires private investigator Marvel's Jessica Jones ("As seen on Netflix") to discover the secret identity of Spider-Man.

She, of course, wastes Jonah's time. And money.
