Around this time, Roger Stern was gearing up for his "Hobgoblin Lives!" limited series, and he had asked the spider-office to bring back some of the characters he would soon be using as potential suspects for Hobgoblin's true identity. Menken originated during Stern's run on <i>Amazing</i>, and to the best of my recollection, had last appeared during the Tom DeFalco/Ron Frenz run on that same title, over ten years before this issue was published.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.com
