Title: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man
Issue Number: 46
Release Date: September 1980

Highlights

• We learn that Ryker's Island has had parts of it redesigned specifically to hold "super villains"
• Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 71, 207, and Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man 39, 43, and 44The Spider Signal makes a return

Low Points

• The chronological reading order of Spider-Man appears to have a timeline error - This issue makes reference to the events of The Amazing Spider-Man occurring "last night" - However, the prior two issues in the timeline, Spider-Woman 28 and 29, have Peter traveling to Los Angeles, California - It's not physically possible for that event to occur in the timespan between AMS 207 and PPTSS 46

Oddities

• Letterer's Day Off - Instead of writing out the word to, they use the number 2

• Colorist's Day Off - Cobra's outfit goes from purple to brown, back to purple, all in one page
