For years I've been hearing that Uncle Ben and Aunt May appeared for the first time in Strange Tales #97. Wizard listed the issue on a Spidey timeline. Anybody ever see this story before? Was it them or prototypes(like the prototypes of Iron Man, Spidey, Ant -Man, etc)?

And that Trouble crap...was that BS cannon?

As for Trouble, it was not canon. Just a horrible, HORRIBLE story written with the four Parkers as templates. Jemas originally said it was the story of Peter's birth, but he was quieted quickly, probably since Mary was pregnant out of wedlock. I don't remember, but I don't think they actually used the last names (Parker and Reilly) in the book. I don't think they actually even finished publishing it, but I could be wrong.
