MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1995. Stopped in 2005 after 122 issues*.

The series features the characters from Spider-man as well as relevant activities.

* The series had a tumultuous run; the issues #1 to 69 were titled Spectacular Spider-man Adventures, only to be retitled Spectacular Spider-man. This - as well as more titles - were maintained until issue #226 in 2011, when the series switched to the title Spider-man Magazine.
The turmoil was instigated by Marvel's intervention, because Panini alternated between American and English material. This website regards the initial run to have been concluded at issue #122 in 2005, although the basic series as such continued 6 more years.
