Spider-Man Classics

    (Marvel, 1993-1994)
™ and ©1993 Marvel Entertainment Group

Thirty-two years after his first appearance in 1961, Marvel presented Spider-Man Classics, a series reprinting the webslinger’s earliest adventures.

The title kicked off with a reprint of Amazing Fantasy #15. That doomed title introduced the bookish Peter Parker, a kid who was probably much like Marvel’s average reader at the time. Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider while watching a science demonstration and found himself with incredible abilities. Initially, he became the Amazing Spider-Man in order to make it big on the talk-show circuit. But when he refused to help a security guard catch a robber, Parker set himself up for a tragic lesson. Soon afterward, that same robber would murder Parker’s beloved Uncle Ben. This taught Parker that with great power comes great responsibility.
