“War of the Reptiles” is the epitome of absurd Bronze Age Spider-Man storytelling. A time when creative teams were apparently tired with the classic rogue’s gallery and instead came up with a new villain of the month, each one more absurd and ridiculous than the last. Like Curt Connors and his Lizard persona, Stegron is actually a man who genetically merged with dinosaur DNA. Unlike Connors, the character is not even remotely sympathetic or interesting to read about. When Spidey fights the Lizard, there’s always drama to the fact that in human form, Curt is a good person and an ally of Spidey’s who’s bailed him out of trouble a few times. With Stegron, he was just a bad guy who went to the Museum of Natural History in New York and reanimated dinosaur bones. It’s like Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park if it was written by someone who was about 12 drinks and a bowl of marijuana into the evening. (x)
