0:00.0	Welcome to Marvelous Disney, the podcast that assesses the most recent doings at one of the
0:04.4	more dynamic divisions of the Walt Disney company, which is of course Marvel Entertainment.
0:09.8	This is Entertainment, I'm Jim Hill and my co-host, the amazing Aaron Adams and I are recording
0:14.8	this week's episode on Wednesday, August 5th, 2022. And Aaron and I just want to ask if you are aware
0:23.4	of what happened 60 years ago this week. Yeah, but my grandfather does not
0:29.9	like to talk about that anymore, so no questions, please. This doesn't involve farm animals,
0:38.0	does it? I said no questions. Okay, never mind. I think we're talking about a different

1:51.2	the phrase introducing Spider-Man. If you were smart enough to buy an issue and then really take
1:58.1	good care of it. Last year in September, a near midcopy of number 15 of amazing fantasy went for
