Because Spider-Man readers can expect non-stop action, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #900, the sixth issue from Wells’ upcoming series, promises a giant-sized epic that sets the tone for Peter’s future. Next came the mighty Thor, debuting in August 1962's Journey Into Mystery #83. Alongside Thor and his alter ego Donald Blake, later established as his own character entirely, the title's subsequent issue Journey Into Mystery #84 expanded the title's cast with the introduction of Thor's love interest Jane Foster, who would go on to become Thor herself, and later Valkyrie (her current superhero identity). To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Marvel’s legendary Spider-Man, fans can also enjoy the Comic-Con Museum in San Diego, home to “ Marvel’s Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing – The Exhibition,” now open to the public through January 1, 2023. This premier exhibition welcomes visitors of all ages to explore the Web-Slinger’s storied history, through original comic art, movie props, costumes, and more priceless original artifacts.

This one is extremely special to me,” said Cebulski of the upcoming series hitting comic shops later this year. “I love the creative team of DEADLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN. It’s also going to star the Demon Bear from New Mutants continuity. As great a combo as peanut butter and chocolate!” According to British TV presenter Jonathan Ross — who spoke off-the-record with Steve Ditko on several occasions — Ditko originally intended for Spider-Man’s suit to be orange and purple, not red and blue. The reason for the change is unclear. This 6-inch scale Spider-Ham figure features deco inspired by the character’s porcine appearance from the movie, right now to his spider-symbol snout! When thinking of names for the character, Lee considered “ Fly-Man,” “Mosquito-Man,” and “Insect-Man,” but continued on with wall-crawling bugs until he reached “Spider-Man,” which he said sounded “mysterious and dramatic.”In 1973, an unauthorized film was made in Turkey where Spider-Man is a villain fighting Captain America. During the 2018 Comic-Con panel for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Phil Lord said that, when Sony came to him and Chris Miller to make an animated Spider-Man movie, they said, “We’ll do it, but it has to be Miles [Morales].” Their goal was to tell the story in a “refreshing way” and doing it with Miles instead of Peter Parker was their way to do that.

Brand-new to the Marvel Unlimited app, SPIDER-VERSE UNLIMITED INFINITY COMIC will relive the story of what makes Spider-Man “Spider-Man”... on Earth-616 and beyond! We’re all familiar with the tale: Peter Parker got bitten by a radioactive spider and gained the incredible abilities of the super-heroic Spider-Man. But this origin is not unique to one corner of the Multiverse—there’s a whole wide web of Spider-Heroes ready to break out and make their mark! In the mid-1990s, James Cameron was set to make a Spider-Man film, but issues with acquiring the rights to the film eventually torpedoed the project. In his book, Tech Noir: The Art of James Cameron, Cameron called Spider-Man, “the greatest movie I never made.” Beginning now through December 2022, fans can celebrate Spider-Man’s 60th anniversary with all-new Spider-Man “Beyond Amazing” products. From apparel, toys, collectibles, and home goods, there is something for fans and web-slingers alike. In addition to the 60th anniversary offerings, consumers can shop existing fan-favorite Spider-Man merchandise throughout the year, such as apparel, collectibles, accessories, and video games. Over the past six decades, Spider-Man has starred in thousands of comic books and been featured on countless pieces of merchandise. He’s appeared in more than a dozen television shows and anywhere from 10 to 20 films ( depending upon how you count them). Spider-Man is recognized around the world and consistently ranks among the top five superheroes of all time.

LEGENDARY ORIGINS: Celebrate Spider-Man’s first-ever appearance in Marvel Comics with Marvel Legends 60th Anniversary Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man! In a 1991 documentary series called The Comic Book Greats, Stan Lee recalled how he and John Romita Sr. tried and failed to make Gwen Stacy as interesting a character as Mary Jane Watson was. Lee said, “[Gwen] was the typical ingenue, and Mary Jane had all that life and that spark and we said ‘We’ve got to do something to make Gwen just as appealing,’ and we couldn’t do it.” Cameron also wrote the screenplay, which was a good deal more adult than any Spider-Man film that would eventually hit theaters. For example, Cameron’s script featured a sex scene with Spider-Man and Mary Jane on the Brooklyn Bridge.
