Spider-Ben

Spider-Ben




Ben broke my month long drought of Superhero Mall Appearance Pictures with this terrific picture of him with Spider-man at Cavalier Square Shopping Center in Hopewell, VA. He notes this is probably 1978-1979. Note the cameo by Jerry Lewis.



As you can see, Ben chose his attire wisely by wearing a shirt that I wished I’d owned as a kid.

    That's an Underoos shirt! Most of us kids wore them as regular t-shirts.. I mean, who wanted to hide that awesomeness??

    I might be a girl, but now that I'm into Doctor Who I regret not getting into this kind of stuff as a kid in the 1980s…
