oh, Peter was pretty mopey ALL the time in the original Spider-man stories. girl problems, money problems (he had to pay for the chemicals to make his web fluid), worried about Aunt May, hating being Spider-man, JJJ after him. it was balanced with the humor, thankfully, so nowhere near as morose as comics are now.
but that was the whole idea, give a superhero some regular problems. unlike some rich pretty boy sitting in a cave that could afford to do what his life's dream was!
