About this deal

At one point, Spider-Man 3’s story became so bloated that screenwriter Alvin Sargent toyed with splitting the story into two films, but couldn’t find a satisfying climax in the middle to conclude the first story. 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.

Gwen Stacy was killed off in The Amazing Spider-Man #121 in 1973, but, according to Romita Sr., editor Roy Thomas originally wanted Aunt May to die. In 2015, Romita recounted his conversation with writer Gerry Conway during a plotting session: “I said, if you kill Aunt May, you're not going to do a damn bit of good to the strip. It'll lose one of Peter Parker's hangups. He won't have to worry about Aunt May anymore. He won't be treated like a child anymore. If we want to make any kind of stir in the monthly line, we have to kill somebody important. That means we need to kill Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy.” Ultimately, Gwen was chosen because she was Peter’s girlfriend at the time, whereas Mary Jane was more of a comedic side character. 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. 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). Estimated ship date subject to change, items may ship earlier or later than anticipated without notice The stories in Amazing Fantasy #1000 won't necessarily focus on the beginnings of Spidey's superhero career. Marvel teases that Slott and Jim Cheung's story will flash forward in time to explore the bond between Peter and Mary Jane, while Falcone and Michael Cho's story will introduce a new villain to Spidey's rogues gallery.

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.” Introduced a new tile type: Abyss tiles! These tiles deal damage like normal but disable AP gain when matched. Somewhat contradictorily, Lee, at times, also stated that “ The Spider,” a pulp character from the 1930s and 1940s, inspired the name of Spider-Man.

Peter Parker is a high school sophomore with a big secret. Instead of rushing home to do homework, he spends his afternoons fighting crime as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! 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.”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.

Subject to availability. Lowe echoed Cebulski’s excitement: “We have writers Taboo and B. Earl, plus artist Juan Ferreyra that Marvel Unlimited readers will recognize from his work on SPINE-TINGLING SPIDER-MAN.” Ferreyra’s edge in the horror genre is perfectly suited for this demonic tale that takes Peter Parker far away from his friendly neighborhood. “It is a freaky book,” teased Lowe. Taking place in the aftermath of the new run’s first arc, Peter is still reeling from his brutal battle with Tombstone and now must contend with a terrifying take on the iconic Sinister Six. It’ll be one of the biggest adventures in Spider-History and you will not believe the ending. 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.”

This MARVEL LEGENDS 6-INCH SERIES 1 MARVEL’S TOAD Figure is inspired by the original 2002 Marvel Legends Marvel’s Toad figure, featuring updated articulation, deco, and accessories. This 6-inch Spider-Man Noir figure features the character’s distinct shadowy deco and includes pistol and alternate head accessories!

HIGH SCHOOL HERO: With the Peter Parker figure’s school-ready deco and book bag accessories, nobody would suspect that this mild-mannered science student is secretly Spider-Man!

Jane will take on the mantle of Thor in the MCU in 2022's Thor: Love and Thunder, just in time for the God of Thunder's 60th anniversary. As for Thor himself, it looks like his own 60th-anniversary celebration will be somewhat less joyous, as Marvel seems to be gearing up for Thor to die at the hands of Thanos. This year marks 60 years of one of comic books’ greatest icons: Spider-Man! In addition to an exciting relaunch of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, a stunning variant cover program, and more, Marvel Comics will also celebrate this milestone anniversary with a special issue honoring the comic that started it all, AMAZING FANTASY. Peter Porker was a mild-mannered spider before the bite from a radioactive pig transformed him…into the Spectacular Spider-Ham! LEGENDARY ORIGINS: Celebrate Spider-Man’s first-ever appearance in Marvel Comics with Marvel Legends 60th Anniversary Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man!

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!” Arriving in August, AMAZING FANTASY #1000 will be a giant-sized one-shot brought together by some of the industry’s most acclaimed creators. The collection of stories will explores the past and future of Amazing Spider-Man storytelling in tales that leave a profound impact on the Spider-Man mythos and showcase why Spidey is one of the most beloved heroes in history.
