Amazing Spider-Man #580 has Peter Parker encountering a "Ray Donovan", about whom Peter thinks "Haven't seen him since I worked for the Daily Globe". And there's then an editor's note saying "Pete first worked for the Daily Globe waaaay back in Fantastic Four #207"

Ray Donovan doesn't have an MCP listing. Did this character appear in FF #207? Has he only appeared in comics once? if so, Peter has a better memory than I thought)! Can someone confirm what Ray Donovan's last appearance was?

(Roger Stern, you just had to go obscure, didn't you?)

Thanks,

Kevin, I cannot find any mention of a Ray Donovan.

I had assumed that he was from Roger Stern's run on ASM. I suppose he could just be a completely new character, but it seems odd considering that Peter claims to have known him.

No, he is from Stern's run on Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man. In #47, and probably others

Yes, I got confirmation he's in Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man #47, (which, in a case of "perfect timing", is getting uploaded to the Marvel Digital website next week).

Thanks to all for the help!

No, perfect timing would have had it uploaded LAST week :p

Yup, there he is in PPTSS 47. It's odd the editor's note didn't cite this issue rather than FF 207.

And I just noticed: "The Blank" (the villain from the issue) doesn't have a listing in the MCP either. The editor's note in the issue mentions West Coast Avengers #3 as his last appearance, can someone confirm? And does the flashback in ASM #580 show new material? (the bit where the Blank washes up the on the beach, I suspect that's new)...
