A video about non-keys?? 😲 I remember when I used to actually buy to read, and not care about what it’s worth. Thanks for these picks!

I know this focused on single issues, but one of my favorite spidey stories nobody talks about was a six issue arc of Spectacular Spider-Man called "The Child Within" (it was actually not too long after that doc ock christmas issue) . Besides Kraven's Last Hunt, it's my favorite storyline featuring Vermin, and all of the issues are essentially dollar bin finds.

Zero, that’s why I love your channel and watch your videos because I love learning about this stuff. Thank you for all that you do. I can honestly say I’ve learned the most from your channel.

Spiderman Unlimited #3. Really cool Doc Ock backstory.

I take "Favourite Spidey Comics" videos over "Top Spidey Comics" any day, so I really appreciate you doing this ! Thank you ASM issues *25 and 43* are the 2 spidey issues I've had the most fun reading. ASM issue *259* (Mary Jane's backstory) is one of the most relatable issue for me. I also deeply love "Hunger" and "Countdown" by *Paul Jenkins*

I really appreciate this type of video and make sure I watch them whenever you put them out. No one on earth has the time or energy to ready every comic out there, there is just simply too much content. The info really helps people find some diamonds in the rough among filler issues, annuals, and offshoot titles. When you did the Batman one, I went out and picked up Batman Black and White 4, and I’m sure I’ll get something off of this list too.

I read 4 of these. ASM 350 jumps out as one of my favorite self-contained stories when he had to use all his wits to survive a battle with Dr. Doom. Spider-Man Vol. 1 #17 is another that comes to mind when he "dies" and faces Thanos and Death.

James- This list was awesome! As a Spider-Man centric collector, I had most of these books. I wasn't collecting for a few years so I missed some of these and now thanks to you I'm going to go hunt these down! My favorite "underrated" Spider-Man story is probably ASM #248. I read it as kid and still remember it to this day. Thanks for the great content!!

Dude thanks! I love when u make educational vids like this!

I still remember Web of Spiderman 6 from when it came out. It was one of those stories that just sticks in your mind. I think it helps that it's the kind of story where you keep asking yourself what you would do in that situation.

Love videos like this. Especially for someone like me who doesn't really read much Spider-Man.

I had all but the power pack one. Inspired me to try and find it. Good video. So much focus everywhere on “keys” and 9.8 and “grails”. It’s nice to let the story/art lead. Those are all great books and easy to come across. The spidey stories that I remember are the asm 233-236 run with will o the wisp.

Dude the detail and work it takes for these vids are great! Keep up the work dude!

That is crazy how you highlighted Spectacular 40, an issue I happen to have. I agree that it's a creepy storyline, and never thought it could catch anyone else's attention. Great job!

Thanks once again for posting a video for the pureness of comics.

Dude interesting list. I only heard of and read one of these and it's one of my favorite Spider-Man stories ever: Spectacular Spider-Man 173 is an underappreciated masterpiece. Classic book. Glad it got recognition somewhere.

My favorite unrated comic is Amazing Annual 14. Doom, Strange and Spider-man fantastic art!!, fantastic story!! Hands down one of my favorite so much I got it Signed by Denny O'Neil and Miller than slabbed. The cover alone is so awesome!!

Any 80s Spiderman comics are usually the best.

Haven't read any of these stories. You've given me some books to look for. Thanks.

My favourite is still Ultimate Spider-Man #78. Mostly because it just gave me them Buffy vibes and I just love how they portrayed MJ's reaction to her & Peter's breakup.

I've read them all, I recently picked up the Spiderman Power Pack. They're all great reads. The Sensational Spiderman was a very underrated run. Thanks for sharing. Great list!

One that comes to mind is Hooky. The Bernie Wrightson art is amazing.

James this is great your on to something with the market being so crazy and books are tanking in find the spec videos have become repetitive and based on hopes and dreams on movies that are years away… this on the other hand is informative and very entertaining your an awesome part and f this community! ✌🏽

I think this is my favorite episode of yours! Thanks!

I've read 3 of them. Another good story, from the same series about Kingpin's employee, is about the Rhino. The story mirrors the novel 'Flowers for Algernon'.

Have a few of these....nice review

Thanks for the Spidey videos lately! Keep up the great work 💪🏻💪🏻. Also, I knew 8 out of 10. I actually own 7 of them also!

Powerless during Erik Larsen was underrated

Great list! Glad you got around to this video, loving seeing people talk about smaller books. Any idea on what character the next video will be about?

Nice list! Friendly Neighborhood Spidey Hobgoblin 2211 and Spider-Man 211 is a cool story. It has a Time Cop/Minority Report aspect to it. I also like the greedy Peter Parker who becomes alienated from Uncle Ben.

My favorite is ASM 347. First ever comic I bought as a young buck. Love the cover

I got one book from that list. "The Spectacular Spiderman" 173. I enjoyed the story.

One issue that I feel is more known for the cover is ASM 491 it has some of the best interaction and writing between MJ and Peter. Really showing how they sometimes struggle to understand each other and the different issues they both face and sometimes can't even tell each other and it has a few cameos of some S tier characters 😉

Amazing Spider Man 218. The story is not very good but the cover is very cool

My favourite Spider Man story is in Amazing 233-236. The original Tarantula takes a spider serum and mutates over time into a giant spider (like Jeff Goldblum in The Fly though it predated that movie by 3 years). It's got a really tragic ending which shocked me as an 11-year old.

I haven't read it, but was made aware of the Spider-Man/Power Pack story. I'ma have to hunt these all down. I really dig Unlimited Spider-Man. There are some awesome stories in that run.

wow and i thought i was a spidey fan i stand corrected great content brother keep it coming! new subscriber here def.!

I was gone for almost 2 months lol, Got busy and stuff, I got 6/10 Great video and great selection! Always the best!

I’ve read 4. The two doc ock stories, the sandman origin and the carnage story

ASM 229,230 and ASM 249….. Wilson saves the day! I also love the 80’s Romita Jr era….

Actually have a few of these I saw just yesterday going thru some long boxes. Always like that Tangled Web story, love the Risso art too. Such a different take on that universe. Found a mint copy of ASM Annual #6 while I was looking too. Nice score I had forgotten about. No ASM annual 16 though, dang.

I own the Sandman origin and the Dead No More prequel issues, but that's it. I'll definitely have to read some/all of the others.

I really don't read most of the older books. But the most recent asm volume had been one of the best with boomerang.

I have 5 of those issues: SSM 40, Web of SpM 6, Tangled Web 4, SSM 173, ASM Annual 28. That Tangled Web issue is excellent. Bought it back in '07 maybe after seeing it on a must-read list. It more than lived up to the hype. Two of my favorite lesser-known Spider-Man stories (though one might be a little more known) involve the Kingpin, oddly. One is Amazing Spider-Man 274 in which Mephisto and the Beyonder make a wager on whether Spider-Man would save Kingpin from an assassin or renounce his sense of responsibility. The second one came three months later in Amazing Spider-Man 277, which has a deceptive cover because it pertains to the odd back-up story. The events in the issue take place right in the middle of the Flash Thompson-Hobgoblin saga, but it also crosses over with the "Born Again" story line in Daredevil. After meeting with a defeated Matt Murdock, Spider-Man goes to confront the Kingpin in his office, and the entire confrontation is a conversation in which Fisk explains to Spider-Man how much his criminal network benefits from the Web-Slinger's heroics. It's a fascinating four pages that are beautifully drawn and choreographed with Fisk subtly trying to put himself in a position to physically fight back if needed and being thwarted each time, but in the end really hurting Spider-Man the most with his words.

I think I’m gonna pick some of theses comics up!

I had that Spider-Man/Power Pack comic as a kid, I always thought it was an uncomfortable but necessary read

Read 1 from this list digitally, ASM Annual: earlier Carnage books impressed me.

Marvel Knights Spiderman #15. You got to love a story where another villain uses the Absorbing Man's power to his advantage. If you've read this story then you know that cocaine is bad for you but it's even worse when your power literally absorbs it.

gotta admit, i really liked ASM #131! Anyhoo, really like this format.

I just love that Doc. Ock Chirstmas story!!

The story where Spiderman shows up for a kid who is ill.

Severance Package is probably the best single issue story I've ever read. I also really loved issues 5 & 6 'Flowers for Rhino'.

Have always enjoyed asm 188's cover a ton... Nothing in particular about the storyline or anything, but cool earlier spidey cover! 💪 🕷 📚

Ultimate Spider-Man is super underrated in my opinion.

Zero for ten! Great video and 100% true - for me at least :). One suggestion? I think it would be great if you name the writer/artist for the stories when you do lists like this. I like to see the creative team get a shout out.

ASM 270 fav cover ever…black suit spidey beaten down firelord in front of the avengers, absolute fire

Of course, ASM 248 (The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man) is great and fairly favored by many. ASM 229 with Spidey against the Juggernaut is an amazing battle. Web of SM 2 with the Vulturions. Petet Parker 64 introducing Cloak & Dagger (although I guess that makes it a key). Marvel Team-Up Annual 4 with Moon Knight, Power Man & Iron Fist, and Daredevil against the Purple Man.

When I got into collecting it baffled me how cheap venom and carnage stuff was. Just wish I had bought more lol

One super common comic I've always loved for its cover (Jim Mooney is so underrated) and for the story too is Spectacular Spider-Man (vol. 1) 36 (continues in 37). I wish Swarm was a bigger villain...

Nice

Just found the stan lee version of batman i believe you mentioned in a batman one shots video. Was suprised i found it and for $2 at Capt. Blue Hen. Very good.

I think ASM 100 doesn't get enough love. It's a thrilling issue with an amazing cover

Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment is a great team-up for those two characters. They go to Hades to fight Mephisto and free Doctor Doom’s deceased mother. Features Mike Mignola art and written by Roger Stern.

The only one I have on this list is The tangled web severance package

This is an offering to the algorithm gods

Awesome! Something that's not D.C.!🤣

Unpopular opinion. I liked the message in spiderman/power pack (Just thought to put this in. Not far into the video yet)

"Spider-man and power-pack" Ima tell you right now, more people know about this one then you think.

I will get spectacular spider-man #40.😀👍

My favorite incarnation of carnage is the ultimate Spider-Man version.

I only knew 1. ASMannual. Reading it growing up, I thought Carnage was unstoppable, physically. People needed tricks or extra special weapons to beat him.

A really good Spidey tale you can get your hands on from eBay is not a Spider comic. It's ok web head and the mysterious dream drifter of the marvel universe. Kingpin and some goons make a last ditch effort to finally unmasking our friendly neighborhood wall crawler. Before nightmares become reality the wet dreams of a teenage boy bring a dream catcher into the mix. Sleepwalker 5 and 6 are two tales with old school Busema era art. A story that will leave your Spidey senses tingling with it's excilerating climax.

I love ASM #186 purely for the cover art. Saw it in a lcs when i started collecting and baught it straight away.

I’ve read easily half good stuff

My favorite random Spider-Man story is the team-up with Captain Marvel in Avenging Spider-Man. I love the weird flirty tension between the two. Always thought it was a bummer that they never did anything with that. The villain is terrible and the story is just fine, but the character interactions are great.

Spectacular spider man 200 death of Harry Osborne

I really like Spider-Man books with a good cover which isn’t a good thing for my wallet

Marvel said its my turn to get pinned...

ASM #50Great Romita Cover

The story of the spectacular Spider-Man #173 sounds really good and emotional just one problem. The artist for the issue Sal buscema is a shit artist. I can’t understand why marvel allowed him to draw Spider-Man for so long every character he draws look like old retired people which makes the characters who are actually old look even horrendous. I’m sorry but aunt May looks dreadful in this story and every other time he’s drawn her. Again I’m sure the story is really good but man oh man could they have had a better artist for the issue?

ASM 307!

Asm 131

Smh, so many are becoming classics, 1-50

Is the one were spider man gets molested cannon to the amazing spider man and 616 prime

I classify the years of 1993 to 2007 to be “the dark age of Spider-Man” reason and I’m talking strictly about the main 616 Spider-Man comics. This was a period where Spider-Man had bad story after bad story after bad story. And the clone saga was during this period and judging from the history of the clone saga I think the people at marvel just didn’t care about Spider-Man like at all. I can’t understand why writers who don’t care get hired and get attention yet writers who do care get no attention it makes me sick.

None of them lol

I just started watching so idk if u said this but the art on spectacular spiderman 20 I really like and think it’s underrated
