The real-life Annelise was frightened by the occupation and the events she witnessed during the war. ![]() “I suppose I had heard the story before, of the way the Danes smuggled their Jewish population to Sweden in 1943,” Lowry writes.

Now though, in my sunset years at the age of 25, I just wanna give this pitiful creature a hug and tell him everything’ll be okay one day, that one day he’d marry a supermodel and his aunt would (probably) never die (somehow). I think I would have felt like he was annoying, and honestly, the panels I had seen out of context had convinced me that early Peter Parker was an asshole, a stupid nerd who deserved to be bullied. If I had read this in 2013, or even in 2016, I likely wouldn’t have enjoyed Peter much. Much more surprising for me, though, was the depiction of Peter Parker. I feel weird about some parts of this book, but I do hope they at least get through Stan Lee’s run on ASM, if only so I can have it collected in this format.
