You think you're just some guy? You think the crimes you commit don't matter? That nobody's ever gonna get hurt because of you? Frankie, buddy, I'm here to tell you... I know different. So yeah, the world might be going to hell. Alien slime monsters might be eating the Empire State Building. But until you stop what you're doing, I'm never going to stop finding you and putting you away. Because to me, you're not "just some guy." — Spider-Man (Peter Parker) Appearing in "Just Some Guy" The flagship title's second decade took a grim turn with a story in #89-90 (Oct.-Nov. 1970) featuring the death of Captain George Stacy.

Jessica Jones was present and flubbed her chance at asking him out, as seen in Alias #22. The spider also bit Cindy Moon, as seen in Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 3) #1. The spider was later eaten by Carl King, a kid who used to bully Peter in school. Regardless, sales for Amazing Fantasy #15 proved to be one of Marvel's highest at the time, [7] so the company launched the series The Amazing Spider-Man seven months later.

With No. 389, writer J. M. DeMatteis, whose Spider-Man credits included the 1987 " Kraven's Last Hunt" story arc and a 1991–1993 run on The Spectacular Spider-Man, took over the title. From October 1994 to June 1996, Amazing stopped running stories exclusive to it, and ran installments of multi-part stories that crossed over into all the Spider-Man books. One of the few self-contained stories during this period was in No. 400 (April 1995), which featured the death of Aunt May – later revealed to have been faked (although the death still stands in the MC2 continuity). The " Clone Saga" culminated with the revelation that the Spider-Man who had appeared in the previous 20 years of comics was a clone of the real Spider-Man. This plot twist was massively unpopular with many readers, [87] and was later reversed in the "Revelations" story arc that crossed over the Spider-Man books in late 1996.
