From: Mike Ciaraldi  
Reading Spider-Man #257 reminded that I always like Mary Jane
Watson as an example of a beautiful comics female.
Not the rather dried-up skinny one Ron Frenz drew
in this issue, but the edition from around isssue #150
or so, drawn by Romita Sr., I think (it's been 8 years, so
I have to rely on memory).

She always seemed to have a pretty face and nice figure,
and dressed to show it off without looking at all cheap or
flagrant. Of course, Gwen Stacy was nice-looking too, but not
as flamboyant.

Remember our first look at her face (issue 42???).
After a year or more of seeing her as a half-glimpsed
figure, alwayts just missing meeting Peter despite his
Aunt's attempts to set them up, she finally shows up anfd
says, "Face it, Tiger, you jit the jackpot!"
Why don't women say that to me?
