Title: The Amazing Spider-Man

Release Date: November 1981
Highlights
- First appearance of James Sanders as Speed Demon
- Sanders was originally known as the villain, Whizzer, who first appeared in Avengers 69
- During their first encounter, Speed Demon runs literal circles around Spider-Man, who can't land a single punch on the villain
- Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 71, Avengers 70, and Avengers Annual 8
- Spider-Man uses Speed Demon's speed against him to devise his undoing
- None
Oddities
- A thug trying to flee in a truck says to himself that there's no sign of Spider-Man, and concludes he's not as fast as he's cracked up to be - to which Spider-Man appears on a wall outside, saying that he's faster - Um, how did he hear the guy talking to himself?
- Speed Demon has his sights set on a major crime spree, and starts this off at...Bloomingdales...Wait...Is this a shameless sponsor plug? Even more odd is that Peter Parker suspects all of this
