Catfight! First Ladies Edition

Nancy Reagan 
vs
Raisa Gorbachev
Only the 1980's could have produced this delightfully campy cold war catfight.
Nancy Reagan had been an actress before marrying Ronnie. His first wife had also been an actress. A more successful actress, who was starring on a hit night soap during this time. Care to guess the actresses name?

The First Ladies were being possessed by the hero Deadman and a demon calling himself Satan. 

The two spirits had been possessing the bodies of President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev, before jumping into the wives. 
The how and why of Deadman and Satan isn't really worth talking about it. It's this absurd moment that only comic books can provide. It borders on the ridiculous, but is amusing considering who possessed who. Satan in Mikhail, then Nancy. Too Funny.

Who'sWho/What'sWhat - The Amazing Spider-Man

"With great power, comes great responsibility"

Spider-Man first swung onto the streets of Manhattan in Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962).
It wasn't long before this friendly neighborhood wall-crawler was starring in a web of (1985), amazing (1963), and spectacular (1976), comics all his own.
