Hey all,
If you all recall not very long ago I said that I'd stop teasing you about the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN newspaper stories and since we are just at the very beginning of this arc where Spidey is on the hunt of a possible Vampire stalker, let me tell you that Stan Lee is just putting the ol webhead into yet another big fad at the moment. So before you go asking will the color Pink be normal here on this blog, I to am just going through a faze for the month called February with it being all about LOVE as the saying goes and who knows what color I'll choose for the month called March? Well so how did Stan's first outline look for newspaper daily strip as you all know Lee knew how to write comics for he had been doing so for years before tackling this a daily story with his most popular character from at Marvel Comics simply called The AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.
He knew he needed a artist to help him with the illustrating so he asked John Romita if he would like to be back at his drawing board to work the ol wallcrawler yet again. See the last time Romtia had work on the character was in nineteen seventy three his first run with the character was when former illustrator Steve Ditko left the title of the Amazing Spider-Man in the early part of nineteen sixty six, so one thing Stan knew people would be very familiar with both the men making this project
, there only was one small problem and that was Romita was now Marvel's art director how would they pull this off? In planing in trying to kept the character rooted as close to his comic counterpart proved without a doubt very tiring so Stan went with this as the opening to the Webhead's daily newspaper look: 
so as you can all see here Jolly Jonah Jameson as always is looking for a way to connect "THE PHANTOM BURGLAR" to whom he knows is that masked menace SPIDER-MAN! Spidey of course set out to prove his very innocent when he just so happens to run into the so called "PHANTOM BURGLAR" and this occurs
,leaving us the reading audience to ponder what does our bug boy end up doing from
here on out? In a moment I will tell you who I think "THE PHANTOM BURGLAR" was? but I want you to know I also left out some pages of this proposal of the first story but not because I didn't wish too do more than just still at a glance give y'all a glimpse of what's to come soon....Here is my guess as to whom "THE PHANTOM BURGLAR" was the Spidey comic villain now somewhat hero from time to time "THE PROWLER" And finally here is the actual layout 
of the very first Spider-Man Newspaper story by none other than John Romita himself.
