Spider-Man Collectible Series #1

Lonely high-school student Peter Parker attends a science experiment. During the experiment, a spider absorbs an uncanny amount of radiation before biting Peter. Soon after, Peter discovers that he has powers similar to that of a spider – he is incredibly strong and can stick to walls. He decides to use his newfound power to earn money, creating the identity of ‘Spider-Man’. Spider-Man soon becomes an overnight sensation. Spider-Man selfishly fails to stop a burglar, as he feels it’s not his problem.

However, when Peter returns to his house one night, he discovers that his beloved Uncle Ben has been shot in a botched robbery. As Spider-Man, Peter tracks down the murderer, but is shocked to discover it is the thief he allowed to escape earlier. Racked with guilt, Peter realises that with great power, there must also come great responsibility.
