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.
- There is a notable lack of punctuation in the word balloons in this issue, excluding question marks and exclamation points.
- The talk show hosts presented in this issue are meant to reflect real world entertainment personalities Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon. Carson was the host of The Tonight Show, with McMahon serving as co-host and veritable side-kick. Neither are identified by name in this issue. This is not the only time that Marvel Comics characters appear on a real world TV series. In Avengers #239 (Assistant editor's month), the Avengers appear on The Late Show with David Letterman.
