Notes
- El Sorprendente Hombre Araña (The Amazing Spider-Man) was a comic series originally published in Mexico. Initially it featured only reprints of mostly Amazing Spider-Man, interspersed with Ant-Man stories from Tales to Astonish and Avengers.[1] After moving to bi-weekly, the publishers realized they would soon catch up to the current release schedule at Marvel. Not wanting to go without any Spider-Man stories, the director of La Prensa publishing house visited Marvel in New York, and obtained Marvel's permission to license their own stories. La Prensa selected José Luis Durán to draw nearly all issues. In total 45 original issues were created.[2]
- Because these stories came outside from Marvel, their place in the Prime Marvel Universe is uncertain, especially in the absence of reading them all. With Gwen Stacy's death occurring not too long after these began (and in fact the last reprint was Amazing Spider-Man #120 in El Sorprendente Hombre Araña #175) these could be, and are often mentioned in other sources as, a continuity where Gwen Stacy never died. However, the accuracy of this claim is uncertain. They could all occur prior to her death, this proposition remains uncertain until further issues are available.
- According to the Marvel Appendix, to this day (April 2023) there are not visible continuity differences between the Spider-man continuity and this mexican-produced stories, so they are potentially set in Earth-616.[3]
Trivia
- As the stories were published in Spanish, the characters' aliases are in Spanish (e.g. el Hombre Araña).
- Although el Hombre Araña's stories seem to take place in the United States, the currency used is the peso.[4]
- Due to the printing technologies and techniques of the time, some licenses were used in the dialogues, such as the name of New York sometimes being abbreviated to "N. York".[5]
