Spider-Man: The Clone Journal

    (Marvel, 1995)
™ and ©1995 Marvel Entertainment Group

In 1994, Marvel pulled out one of the biggest surprises of its history when it “revealed” that the Spider-Man clone created by the Jackal in Amazing Spider-Man #149 was never actually killed. In effect, there had really been two Peter Parkers for the past twenty-five years.

How could this have happened? This special edition provides the answers. It tells the story of the past twenty-five years through the eyes of Ben Reilly—actually the real Peter Parker. Reilly had survived the battles of Amazing Spider-Man #149–151, although the world believed him dead. Brainwashed into thinking he was the clone, he went into hiding, emerging only when he learned that Aunt May was dying. Recent readers of Spider-Man will recall that it was then that he met Peter Parker, did battle, then eventually joined forces. In time, he would take on a super-hero identity of his own as the Scarlet Spider, effectively giving the world two Spider-Men.
