With Spider-Man 3 coming out on Friday, this is Spider-Man Week at Hero Hunt. To celebrate, I’ve compiled a list of Spider-man 3 movie plot points and their occurrences in the comics.
We know that the movies typically try to combine many of the important comic book moments into one film. As a result, the movies often change the comic book continuity. Here’s the list of what actually happened in the comics and the issues in which they occurred.
- The first appearance of the Sandman - Amazing Spider-Man #4, Sep. 1963
- The first appearances of Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn - Amazing Spider-Man #31, Dec. 1965
- Harry Osborn becomes The Green Goblin for the first time - Amazing Spider-Man #136, Sep. 1974
- The return and death of the burglar who killed Spidey’s Uncle Ben - Amazing Spider-Man #200, January 1980
- The first appearance of Spider-Man’s black costume - Amazing Spider-Man #252, May 1984
- Spidey’s black costume is revealed to be a symbiote - Amazing Spider-Man # 258, Nov. 1984
- Venom’s first appearance (a last-page cameo drawn by Todd McFarlane) - Amazing Spider-Man #299, Apr. 1988
- Venom’s first full appearance - Amazing Spider-Man #300, May 1988
- #300 also featured Spider-Man reverting back to his original red-and-blue costume - Amazing Spider-Man #300, May 1988
