SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #1 FACSIMILE EDITION

Written by GERRY CONWAY

Penciled & COVER by SAL BUSCEMA

By the mid-1970s, Spidey fans could thrill to their favorite hero’s escapades in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, his high-octane encounters with other super-types in MARVEL TEAM-UP, his all-ages adventures in SPIDEY SUPER STORIES and reprints of classic stories in MARVEL TALES – and still it wasn’t enough! Such was the clamor that a second solo title debuted with a focus on the man beneath the mask: the always popular Peter Parker! But fear not, there’s plenty of costumed action in this frantic first issue – and when the deadly Tarantula strikes at Peter’s university, it’s Spidey who feels the sting! Will the Tarantula claim the mayor’s life, or can our wall-crawling Web-Head save the day in suitably spectacular fashion? It’s one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all! Reprinting SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #1.

NEW PRINTING!

Written by STAN LEE

Penciled by STEVE DITKO with JACK KIRBY

Cover by STEVE DITKO

In 1962, in the pages of a comic book slated for cancellation, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko gave birth to one of the most enduring icons in American popular culture: the Amazing Spider-Man! Turning the concept of a super hero on its head, they imbued the young, guilt-ridden Peter Parker with the fantastic powers of an arachnid and the fantastic pressures of an everyday teenager. The combination was pure magic. Now you can leap into Spider-Man’s web-slinging world from the beginning — including the tragic origin that started it all; the first appearances of the Daily Bugle and J. Jonah Jameson; and the debut of classic villains including the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, the Sandman, the Vulture and Electro!

  1. @peterparkerfan because really that’s all Marvel does with Spider-Man I find. I’m really hoping it’s a tease

    @chi-town so will you be dropping all of Marvel?

  2. Oh no, not this again…

    Why do they keep breaking Peter and MJ up? It’s just ludicrous at this point.

  3. Maybe the big secret that has him on the outs with everyone is One More Day, and of course Peter and Mary Jane will fight while they deal with it, but by the end of the story arc they will be back together.
    I’m sure its not, but until April, I can dream…

  4. I mean, of course they’re going to break Peter and MJ up again. It’s why they ended the marriage in the first place. Marvel doesn’t want a married Spider-Man.

    To move a married Spider-Man forward, you need to have marital issues and kids… and Marvel doesn’t think that will sell well. Pete and MJ may get back together again, but you can’t expect Marvel to let them be happy. They want drama in the comics.

    A clever writer could do something interesting with them as a couple, but the simple way to deal with them is to break them up. Then have them back together. Then break them up again. Because if they’re going to have a relationship, it’s going to be one that doesn’t work, because Marvel thinks it makes more interesting comics.

    So, for now, that’s exactly what we’re going to get.

  5. If this happens I’m definitely dropping. Not a fan of the writer, artist, the premise, and frankly I’m bored of Doc Ock

  6. Yeah if they go through with it I’m out. Hoping it is a fake out but between Zeb Wells, JRs blocky art, everyone hating Spider-Man again and now this I’ve so far heard nothing about this run that actually makes me want to pick it up

  7. In light of the concurrent release of the wedding arc, maybe the break-up is just a tease, and they’re actually going to get married? I’m trying to be hopeful for you, Chi-Town, because I agree with everything you said.

  8. I’m hoping it’s a fake out but man, marvel just does all it can to stop me wanting to buy their stuff. And as Geiseric said releasing that tease the same month as the wedding album treasury is just crazy.

    Marvel can’t decide if they want us to forget the wedding or celebrate it. Talk about having your cake and eating it.

  9. I mean I guess it could be a fake out but this run seems to want to go hard on Peter angst which to be honest is pretty boring at this point.

    Releasing the wedding OHC in the same month is also something. Little funny

  10. Too be honest, same here. The cover for ASM #2 is a deal breaker for me. I have no faith in Marvel. If Peter and MJ break up, I’m done. I don’t wanna hear “It’s too dangerous to be with me” line again. It’s been done and overly played. How can a couple that was JUST cemented to belong to each other for 3 years after a DECADE of being apart (based on writer’s falsely opinion) just call it quits again? Marriage and Kids were brought up in ASM 60 (volume 5).

    If they split, Marvel isn’t getting any of my money. Why pay for something I DO NOT WANT?

  11. So they are going all in on making spider man as miserable as possible?

    Probably will pass on this run not going to lie. Everything revealed just makes it less appealing.
