By the mid-1970s, Spidey fans could thrill to their favourite 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 clamour 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?
