Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 149

   

Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 149
Release Date: October 1975

Highlights

  • Death of Anthony Serba, and Jackal
  • Jackal knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man
  • Jackal lays out why he created the clone of Gwen Stacy, being an "admirer" of her, and feeling heartbroken when she died
  • First appearance, and at the time, also the death of the Spider-Clone, retconned in the 90's as Ben Reilly
  • The Gwen Stacy Clone says goodbye to Peter Parker
  • Peter and Mary Jane hook up in the end
Low Points
  • In hindsight, it's the story arc many fans wish never happened, leading to the awful, and excessively drawn out Spider-Clone saga of the 90's
Oddities
  • Tarantula, who was prominent in the past two issues of the arc is nowhere to be found in the final act
