Highlights

- Spider-Man is cleared of all investigation / charges with the city, and declared innocent
- Spider-Man is offered a television show, and tells the man to go ask the Hulk instead - an obvious nod to the popular television series starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno
- Spider-Man is also offered a comic book deal, and pitched the idea of it being about him boxing Leon Spinks - A nod to the Treasury Edition of Superman Vs. Mohammad Ali
- Spider-Man takes a jab at the ever consistent problems plaguing comic companies at the time pertaining to missed deadlines
- Spider-Man makes reference to giving the rights to The Electric Company for a free comic series - A reference to his periodic appearances in the show, and the popular Spidey Super Stories comics

Oddities
