Famous comic-book quotes!

In this new section we'll see some of what I think are the most famous comic-book quotes of all history. The first one, today, is by none other than Mary Jane Watson, from the first time she met Peter Parker, and the first time readers got to see her face, after many issues of seeing part of his body only...that was Stan Lee with his classic humor. Finally, Aunt May's efforts to date Peter with a girl were rewarded!

As an "amazed" Peter Parker stared at her, with his eyes and mouth wide open, MJ said:

Face it, tiger, you just hit the jackpot!

And though the original scene was drawn by none other than John Romita, this piece of art sums the feeling Peter got pretty well...


If you want to see the original, you just have to read Amazing Spider-Man #42 (1966), by Stan Lee and John Romita, where the first full Mary Jane appearance was shown.



See you, tigers!

Had to drop you a line about how I enjoy your "Famous panels". This is a classic! I first saw a version of it in my Mighty Marvel Calendar. MJ's quote filled a day in Jan. of 1975.
