''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' is the name of several Comic Book s and one Magazine series starring Marvel Comics ' Spider-Man . MAGAZINE ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' was initially a two-issue magazine published by Marvel in 1968 , as an experiment in entering the black-and-white comic-magazine market successfully pioneered by Warren Publishing and others. It sold for 35 cents when standard comic books cost 12 cents and annuals and giants 25 cents. The first issue (July 1968) featured a painted, color cover with a 52-page Black-and-white Spider-Man story, "Lo, This Monster!", by Writer Stan Lee , with art by Penciler John Romita, Sr. and Inker Jim Mooney . A 10-page origin story, "In The Beginning!", was by Lee, penciler Larry Lieber and inker Bill Everett . The feature story was reprinted in color, with some small alterations and bridging material by Gerry Conway , in '' The Amazing Spider-Man '' #116-118 (Jan.-March 1973 ) as "Suddenly...The Smasher!", "The Deadly Designs Of The Disruptor!", and "Countdown To Chaos!" (with additional inking by Tony Mortellaro on the latter two). These versions were themselves reprinted in ''Marvel Tales'' #95-97 (Sept.-Oct. 1978 ).
