Issue Tagline: First Issue! Collector's Edition! By Popular Demand Spidey Stars in an All-New Action Series! Featuring the Stinging Return of the Tarantula!
Notes:
The cover logo used on this issue would be modified starting with #2 (the "Peter Parker" lettering will be tweaked and enlarged). The letter's column title and heading is borrowed from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN for this issue only. It features a half-page text piece by Gerry Conway titled "Notes From Myself" that explains why Marvel decided to launch another Spidey title and how this one will be unique.
