Web of Spider-Man (Season 6, Episode 7)

O, what a tangled web they weaved!

In this season of the Amazing Spider-Talk, Dan and Mark are going back to the mid-80s when the Amazing Spider-Man title was handed over to one of the most legendary creative pairings in comics, who were just starting their creative partnership: Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. It was a time of immense change in the comics industry but together Tom and Ron returned Spider-Man to its Ditko-inspired roots to create one of the most beloved runs on the title.

On today’s show they are going to be talking about the launch of one of the longest running Spider-Man B-Titles, Web of Spider-Man. Back in 1985, Web of Spider-Man replaced Marvel Team-Up to become the third ongoing Spider-Man title being released from Marvel. We are going to be talking about why Marvel made the change, what they hoped to achieve with the new title, and discussing our thoughts on the first run of stories and the title’s lasting impact on the history of Spider-Man.
