Thompson's childhood is explored in The Spectacular Spider-Man #-1 (July 1997), titled 'That Thompson Boy'. Though the relationship between Flash Thompson and Spider-Man's alter ego Peter Parker gradually became more cordial over the years, the major turning point towards their becoming friends was in The Amazing Spider-Man #138 (November 1974), in which Thompson lets Parker room with him after all his other friends and acquaintances turned him away. Though he reappeared in the comic a few times while on leave, he did not return to the regular cast until issue #105 (February 1972). He was a regular character in series for its first four years, leaving the cast in The Amazing Spider-Man #47 (April 1967) to serve in the Vietnam War.
