Release Date: March 1985
Highlights
- First appearance of Jack "D.J." Jones, Roberto DeNatale, Bluto, and Cheo
- First appearance of "Scurvy Jack's" Tavern, and St. Rudolph Hotel
- Photograph cover featuring Scott Leva as Spider-Man, who was planned to star in a Spider-Man film for Cannon Films, but was eventually scrapped
- He does dawn the costume for the 2000 X-Men movie as a gag, and is featured in the blooper real
- Elliot R. Brown is the photographer on the cover, and you can check out his story about the shoot, "HERE"
- D.J. Jones walks in on Peter Parker half dressed as Spider-Man with his mask off, and quickly snaps a photograph
- Jones gets away, and later that evening heads out to find a buyer of his negatives
- Peter identifies Jones with the help of Ben Urich
- When Roberto DeNatale finds out about the negatives, he sends his men to take them from Jones
- Spider-Man bursts in at the last second, and takes out the thugs, but Jones quickly escapes again
- When DeNatale finds out about what happens, he deduces that Jones set him up, and orders is men to kill the would be criminal
- Spider-Man saves him again, this time tricking the thugs by saying that Jones is his prey, not theirs, in an attempt to lure them off the man
- Spider-Man gets the original negatives, and let's Jones go
- Jones realizes that between Spider-Man and DeNatale, he needs to get out of town fast
- It feels like a story someone wrote in ten minutes to meet a deadline, and collect a check
- Zero relevance or impact to the overall Spider-Man universe
- It's not believable that Spider-Man would be so reckless as to be changing in an unlocked room, and ignore his spidey sense, allowing someone to walk in on him
