That's a bit unfair - there are GREAT 1970s Jonah stories. That's when he married Marla.
Actually, I think Marla has gotten an even worse deal in BND than Jonah. Please, the woman who created giant superhero-killing robots, faced down the Scorpion, and married J. Jonah Jameson in the first place doesn't have the nerve to tell him to his face that she sold the Bugle out from under him to save his life?
