With the powers given by the bite of a radioactive spider, a young man fights crime as a wall-crawling superhero.

Peter Parker has a laboratory accident that changes his life. He finds himself with greatly increased strength, the ability to stick to walls to climb them without needing hand and footholds and a "spider-sense" (presented in this series as clairvoyance) that allows him to sense danger. Designing a costume and a webshooter that allows him to fire a strong artificial web, he fights crimes as Spider-Man.—Kenneth Chisholm <[email protected]>

Much to his surprise, orphaned Peter Parker sees his world turn upside down when a mutated, radioactive spider imbues him with incredible super-powers: unlimited super-human strength paired with the extraordinary ability to stick to all surfaces and the intuitive capability of sensing danger. Working as a freelance photographer for J. Jonah Jameson's Daily Bugle, the new and immensely improved Peter Parker makes a life-altering decision, creates a skin-tight, red-and-blue Spandex suit, and becomes Spider-Man. Now, Peter Parker has become New York City's agile defender: an invincible crime-fighting super-hero ready to crash injustice and protect the innocents.
