In the mid 80's Peter David wrote The All New, All Daring, Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man (honestly the title on every issue) and Rich Buckler did the art- they were the best Spidey stories ever in my opinion and I have a few to give you- You've seen Spidey fight around the world, on Battleworld and even in space, but in some of these issues you'll see Spidey fight in the one element he has no hope of winning in.
Suburbia.

Awww yeah. why those issues are not collected I'll never know....probably due to the overlap with Amazing and Web of SM- back then you could read the three titles back to back and it would give you one week of Peter's life- each title came out one week apart with one week off at month's end- and they always left you with a cliffhanger on that issue!

Anyway, I totally hear ya on how a character can change (or help) your life when you're in a rough spot- I scored the whole run of rom, (plus annuals!)from the owner of a LCS when I was fifteen- for forty bucks- and read them in one weekend. So I'm a Rom fan for life.
I ended up giving the run to a children's hospital- along with like six full long boxes of comics- when I moved back in college, but I still pick p an old issue now and then to re-experience those stories.

Dude, both those points are freakin' awesome. So glad you gave them to a children's hospital. The cosplay group I hang with at times got together for the one main reason, to dress up as super heroes and hang out with kids so we can color with them, give them gifts and just make em smile.
