Great article! I never knew there was a Red Skull jiggler. Crazy! I have the Ben Cooper Spider-man and Batman outfits boxed. Not my originals by no means. But when I was reconstituting pieces of my collection back in the 90's these were on the list of must-haves. Thanks for sharing this. Very enjoyable read.

I always felt the Spider-Man costume had a Ditko-vibe (and of course Ditko art on some of the boxes)...now I know why!
