Notes & Trivia

 * This is the final regular issue of Amazing Spider-Man written by Stan Lee. Subsequent issue that bear Stan Lee's name are generally regarded as "inventory issues", which means Lee wrote them prior to his departure from the title and they were fleshed out later as filler material.


 * This is the second regular Marvel Comics title featuring a superhero to reach the 100th issue mark (not counting titles that have changed formats or titles). The first was Fantastic Four #100 from July, 1970.


 * Despite being a special 100th issue, this issue does not have an increased page count, and features only one story.


 * Yes, this issue spotlights the infamous tale where Peter Parker drinks some experimental silly juice and grows six arms. Way to bow out of the series, Stan!
