Marvel Tales Flip Magazine

    (Marvel, 2005-2007)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

Peter Parker has been married, cloned, and gone through a whole lot of personal changes over the years, but at his heart, he is still the young man with a host of problems and stresses that putting on his Spider-Man costume can’t completely take him away from. Writer J. Michael Straczynski’s popular take on the character cut away some of the extraneous stuff and brought the character “back to basics”—the first issue of his run, drawn by John Romita Jr., is reprinted here.

Fittingly, the double-sized flipbook also reprints the first issue of Amazing Fantasy (2nd Series), which features a young woman with a chip on her shoulder who just might be the heir to the Spider-Man legacy. Arana’s initial adventure by Fiona Avery and Mark Brooks plays on the “with great power comes great responsibility” theme.
