I don't have to be nine to get it or eat it now. Not at all. The thing about being nine is... and truly, I was more than nine at the time, more like ten or eleven... I was in love with Spider-Man then, but he was unknown to the world at large. An obscure new character by Lee and Ditko in an obscure comic book. I was so excited by each and every issue that came out - think of my excitement if there had been toys and candy and games and costumes and all the many, many things we have now. I even bought Spider-Man band-aids last year. Very, very exciting to my inner eleven year old who just couldn't get enough back in 1963.
