Amazing Spider-Man #610 (Ongoing)

Spider-Man first appeared in the comic book (Aug. 1962). The series was canceled with that issue, but response to the character was so positive that a solo title, The , was launched with a March 1963 cover-date. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist and co-plotter Steve Ditko, and the pair produced 38 issues from 1963 to 1966. The Amazing Spider-Man title is the character's flagship series. Most of the major characters and villains of the Spider-Man saga have been introduced here, and it is where key events occur. The title was published continuously until 1998 when Marvel Comics relaunched it with a new issue #1 (Jan. 1999), but on Spider-Man's 40th anniversary, this new title reverted to using the numbering of the original series, beginning again with issue #500 (Dec. 2003). Issue #610 concludes the three-part story arc, "Who Was Ben Reilly?"
