Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Spider-Man was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in August, 1962 in a story titled "Spider-Man!" The character has since gone on to become one of the most well-known and enduring super-heroes of all time, having appeared in numerous comic book titles, as well as feature films, animated projects and video games.
- This is the first issue of Amazing Spider-Man lettered by Sam Rosen.
- This is the first time that Spider-Man swaps punches (literally) with Doctor Doom.
- This is the second time that the Fantastic Four have appeared in an issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. They also appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #1. They appeared last in Strange Tales #112. They appear next in Fantastic Four #9. Their next appearance in this series is in Amazing Spider-Man #8.
- 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.
- This issue includes a flashback scene from Doctor Doom's last battle with the Fantastic Four from Fantastic Four #17. He appears next in Fantastic Four #23.
