Rachel RobbinsPublished a day ago in GeeksSpinning into Key Spiderman Comics
Starting in 1962, the world of comic books changed forever. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko dropped on unsuspecting masses a story about a mild-mannered teenager who gains spider-like powers and finds out very quickly that with great power comes... you probably know that part. Spider-Man has become part of our culture through almost all media known to man, leaping from comics to animated shows, video games, and some of the most successfuly movies of all time. But it all had to start somewhere. These are some of my favorite key Spider-Man comics that you may have missed (they go back a few years).

As part of my ongoing ambition to be a 1940s screenwriter, I have re-watched Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Of course, he is the master of suspense. During the 1940s and 1950s Hitchcock used his years of experience in the film industry to direct some of the most thrilling and frightening films of the era. They are full of heightened emotions, conflict and twisted plot-lines.

This article is one of a series - Shot of the Movie - and may contain spoilers. In the early runtime of Laura (1944), you may be pulled in more by the dialogue than the visuals. I certainly was. Rich in subtext, with great banter between a no-nonsense detective and his elitist foil, this film's dialogue is sleek and has a rhythm that moves the film into its more interesting set pieces.

Is it possible to capture everything that's good about a movie in a single shot? Here's how I see it. I argue some shots are so good, they can stay with you longer than the movie, itself. They're powerful, plot-altering, and impressive, not always in their scale, but sometimes in their subtlety. And they change us, not only by giving us something to talk about well after the credits roll but also for their implications for what they have to offer for film and movies, themselves.

Hollywood is a bully. As an imaginary 1940s Hollywood screenwriter, I have learned to keep quiet, to avert my gaze, not complain. It is my dream job and a nightmare. I want to be a story-teller that weaves magic about sassy women who stand up to the men. But this is 1940s Hollywood, so I know that not all fights, no matter how just, will be won and that gutsy women need to know their place. Cautionary tales about the women who spoke up, hide in every dark corner of every salacious fanzine.

Ahhhh! Beverly Hills! The land of palm trees, fast cars & even faster women. The ideal place for a vacay unless you're on the hunt for a murderous art dealer who had your best friend offed.
