Spider-Man Comics Weekly was Marvel UK's second title (the first being Mighty World of Marvel) and would go on to be its longest running, albeit under several different names during its twelve year run. The first issue, dated 17th February 1973, featured Spider-Man, fresh from appearing in MWoM, and Thor, and it wasn't until #50 that another strip, Iron Man, joined the title.
For the first three years of publication Spider-Man Comics Weekly was a stable title, but major changes were on their way. #157 would be the last to go by the original name, as cancelled title The Super-Heroes was merged into Spider-Man Comics Weekly from #158, which was accordingly retitled Super Spider-Man with the Super-Heroes.
