After all the foofarah about the way Mary Jane Watson dressed in AMAZING SPIDER-
MAN #256, I thought I'd take a glance at the book when I was next in my comic
shop. Oddly enough, I find that I have to agree with Mr. Martillo... sort of.
If nothing had been said, and I had read that issue, I never would have thought
anything of MJ's apparel. I certainly wouldn't have thought that she dressed
like a slut. However, since Martillo mentioned it, I'd have to agree that her
apparel (for those of you who haven't looked at that issue, she was wearing a
mini-skirt, fishnet stockings, and high heels) and stance are very much like a
hooker's. Perhaps I should say, like a stereotypical hooker's. The times that I
have seen real hookers, in Boston's Combat Zone and NY's Times Square, there
was as great a variety in their appearance as in any group of people. That's why
I only sort of agree with Mr. Martillo.
