Job Number: V-977

Notes: Paste-Pot Pete next appears in issue #110 (July 1963). Pete became The Trapster in Fantastic Four (Marvel, 1961 series) #38 (May 1965). This is the first time a villain in this series escaped at the end. A genuine animosity seems to have developed very quickly, perhaps as a result of such a "ridiculous" looking baddie almost killing Johnny during their fight. Don Simpson paid tribute to Pete (and Spider-Man) with his character "The Slick" in Bizarre Heroes.
