Campbell is always ontop of issues that plaguethe community, Hairstonsaid.

Campbell supported thegroup’s cookout, completewith music and bingo atJ.C. Price School.

“It’s nice because a lot of

patrol officers, they gottawatch the clock the wholenight,” Campbell said.

“They gotta be readyto go. So, they don’t re-ally have time to hang out,chitchat, and ask, ‘Howare you doing? Who areyou? What do you look like?What are the people in theneighborhood like?’”

“I think it’s good becausea lot of times people don’tparticularly like the po-lice officers until they arehaving some problems,”church member HunterHaith said.

“Then, they want to call

911. But if you get to knowthe police officers and theyget to know the commu-nity, then it helps in termsof crime and you don’thave this barrier.”

Making Spider-Man ablack character is not a

publicity effort, it’s reflec-tive of an industry keepingpace with modern society,said Axel Alonso, Marvel’seditor-in-chief.

“As someone who grewup on a steady diet of‘Luke Cage, Hero ForHire’ and ‘Shang Chi, Mas-ter of Kung Fu,’ I am per-sonally invested,” he said.

“This was a consciousdecision. Here at Marvel,we pride ourselves on re-flecting the real world inall its diversity,” Alonsoadded, adding that Mo-rales’ stories would be onpar with those of Parker.

Morales’ adventures willbe fleshed out in the com-ing months with the startof “Ultimate Comics: Spi-der-Man” in September.

“I’m now sitting with apile of legitimately newSpider-Man stories to telland that is the best newsa writer could have,” Ben-dis said.

NYC landlord saysDunaway lives inCalif.

NEW YORK— She wasa brazen bank robber in“Bonnie and Clyde,” themysterious Evelyn Mul-wray in “Chinatown” and ascheming television execu-tive in “Network.”

Now Faye Dunaway isa defendant in case No.76667/11 in Manhattanhousing court, just anotherrent-stabilized tenant fac-ing eviction.

In a lawsuit filed Tues-day, her landlord claimsthat Dunaway, who pays$1,048.72 a month for

a one-bedroom walkupapartment in a century-oldtenement building on East78th Street, does not actu-ally live there, but ratherlives in California. Thecase also named her son,Liam Dunaway O’Neill,whose father is the photog-rapher Terry O’Neill, asa subtenant in the apart-ment.

As proof, the landlord,unnamed in court papers,stated that Dunaway ownsa home in West Hollywoodand has her voter and auto-mobile registrations there.The suit also cited three

moving violations she re-ceived in California fromMay 2009 to December2010.

Rent stabilization rulesrequire a tenant to live inthe apartment they arerenting as a primary resi-dence, not a second home.Dunaway, 70, does notappear to be living glam-orously. The home in Cali-fornia is a nice but notflashy house in West Hol-lywood on which she stillcarries a mortgage, ac-cording to the lawsuit.

Dunaway is one of themany celebrities who have

been known to fight to keeprent-regulated apartmentsin New York over theyears. Cyndi Lauper, forexample, battled to keepher unit at the Apthorp.

If Dunaway’s landlordpersuades her to leave, heis likely to get far morerent. According to rentaldata tracked by the broker-age Citi Habitats, one-bed-room walk-up apartmentson the Upper East Sidecurrently rent for an aver-age of $2,318 a month.

Dunaway is scheduledfor a hearing in Manhat-tan’s civil court Aug. 11.

NewSpider-Man comic boasts big changesPHILADELPHIA— Peter

Parker is dead and gone,but Spider-Man’s stillslinging webs and fightingcrime.

And it’s not just a newteenager climbing Manhat-tan buildings, it’s an en-tirely new crime fighter,from the color of his suit tothe complexion of his skin.

Meet Miles Morales, ahalf-black, half-HispanicAmerican teenager who,inspired to do good afterthe death of Parker at thehands of the Green Goblin,takes flight and has his firstfight in the pages of Mar-vel Comics’ “Ultimate Fall-out” No. 4, in comic shopstoday.

of “Ultimate Spider-Man”No. 160 this summer.

But the identity of thenew hero was a closelyguarded secret, until now.

Bendis said the decisioncame down to the story,to keep it fresh and vitaland new. Morales, he ex-plained, is nothing like hispredecessor.

“He’s younger than Pe-ter Parker. He’s coming

from a completely differ-ent background, a com-pletely different worldview,” Bendis said. “It’sPeter Parker’s death thatinspires this kid to stepup.”

Bendis said his deci-sion was made before ac-tor Donald Glover’s effortsto be considered for nextyear’s Spider-Man filmwent viral. He had talked

it over with Joe Quesada,Marvel’s chief creative of-ficer.

“Joe and I talked aboutit at great length — what ifhe was an African Ameri-can and how interesting itwould be,” Bendis said.
