Title: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man
Issue Number: 86
Release Date: January 1984
Highlights
- Assistant Editor's Month
- First appearance of Bob DeNatlale, Fred Hembeck, and Danny Fingeroth
- Despite its comedic approach, the story is 100% Spider-Man cannon
- The Fly takes over a garbage scow, and begins feasting
- The Fly realizes he's turning more and more into a fly every day, losing his humanity, and he determines himself to get revenge on J. Jonah Jameson and Spider-Man
- Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man Annual 10
- Spider-Man decides to let Black Cat stay by his side, and says he'll show her everything about him, starting with where he, Peter Parker, works
- Black Cat tells Spider-Man that she doesn't understand why he would want to be anyone other than Spider-Man twenty-four hours a day - She doesn't grasp his concept of needing to work for a living
- Spider-Man tells Black Cat the origin of the Fly
- J. Jonah Jameson learns that Black Cat and Spider-Man are together as a couple
- The story ends with Spider-Man taking Black Cat to Peter's home
- Because this issue immediately leads into the pages of Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 87, it would technically make this the beginning of the symbiote saga, but...
- ...The continuity for Spider-Man's chronological reading order is about to get all wonky over the next several issues of the multiple books, and the timeline of events are not going to occur sequentially
- Further, some of those timelines aren't chronologically possible based on the events unfolding from issue to issue
Oddities
- None
