See Amazing Spider-Man issue 1! Is this a mistake by the letterer or was Stan Lee still undecided on Peter's name? Read the green word bubbles carefully. ALSO: Pick up a free digital copy of this issue in Marvel's digital comic selection at Marvel.com!
Spider-Man
Character » Spider-Man appears in 17252 issues.
Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became Spider-Man.
Amazing Spider-Man #1 Mistake?
I found the mistake in a digital copy FROM the Marvel website, so unless one of the employees is playing a joke I don't think it's a mistake. Download the free issue from Marvel and go to the second story in #1 "Spider-Man versus the Chameleon" on the second page. Or perhaps check your reprint ? :)
I think some of the originals did have this mistake in them (this isn't the first time I've heard of it). Stan Lee kinda sucked at remembering names, so I believe it.
There might have been 2 prints, the first being incorrect and the second printing corrected the mistake. I will literally scan my kindle to show you. Hold on...
Hey as long as you aren't giving Spidey a hard time like some people do I'm fine. Thanks for posting! :)
This is why i HATE the digital switch. ITS RUINING the print ways. Soon everyone will switch to this crap. I will always stay loyal to the good ol' print copies. I buy at New england comics. Not on some Stinking Iphone or Ipad. This generation is doomed...
@paperdemon: You're right! Live in the past and corrections are the Devil. Nice logic bro.
I have read the issue again and everytime he is mentioned Peter Palmer appears. So in his first appearance the Chamaleon didn't fought Peter Parker, he fought Peter Palmer.
