Anyone here old enough to remember when Spiderman was introduced? Because I'm totally ignorant of comics.
Easy enough to change the phrase, certainly, but shit, I hate to. Because if you take the #%%$#$# pop culture reference out of it, it's precisely how she senses danger coming her way.
You're wrong, Teppy. It was the late 60s. I'll google.
I googled too quickly, Elena. 1962,
Amazing Fantasy
#15.

I should change that anyway, I suppose, since she certainly wouldn't be a Spiderman type (she's way more of a sitar type), and if everyone's going to make that association.....
Goddamnit.
Plus in the last 10 years or so, Marvel's done a huge push to publicize Spidey. Hence the clone saga and the baby--heck, Peter and MJ's wedding had the royal treatment. I think a lot of Buffistas are at least marginally comic geeks, and Spider-man is nearly as iconic as Batman and Superman.
Gosh, nearly forgot the "-" in Spider-man.

Beat me to it. 1962. Amazing Fantasy #15.
I mean, let's face it, there were arachnids before there was Peter parker - it was Peter Parker that got bit, right? A radioactive spider? I do remember that much, from what Nic told me (yes, my husband is indeed a comics guy).
