Comics : Spider-Man (Vol. 1) : #1-#21

Note: Comics shown are for database purposes only. None of these comics are for sale. Valuations shown are indicative Near Mint Values. Dates shown are cover dates.

The "adjectiveless" Spider-Man was originally developed as a showcase for Todd McFarlane as writer/artist to strut his stuff. McFarlane remained on the title for just over a year when he left, and the title was passed on to his future co-Image founder, Erik Larsen. The title continued on as a fourth (fifth?) title staring Marvel's Arachnid hero.
