Notes & Trivia

 * This is the first time that Spider-Man uses impact webbing. This becomes a standard tactic of Pete's successor (and clone), Ben Reilly, when he becomes the Scarlet Spider many years from now.


 * Doctor Doom actually fights Spider-Man physically in this issue. This is a rarity and an uncharacteristic trait of Doctor Doom, who generally relies upon his armor's weaponry during physical combat rather than throwing punches.
