There is no hero more synonymous with Marvel Comics than Spider-Man.

Amazing Spider Man #546 variant by Bryan HitchEver since his debut in August of 1962, Peter Parker as Spider-Man has experienced more widespread recognition, popularity, and prolific appearances than any other Marvel hero debuted before or since. Even after he transformed from a scrawny nerd to a superhero, Peter Parker remained relatable thanks to his air of an underdog who somehow found a way to win. He’s also a fine role model, with the motto “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.”

Over fifty years of comic books focused on just one hero means there are many great Spidey stories out there to read – so many, in fact, that it is hard to know where to begin or what order they should be read in. Add to that the gradual appreciation of back issues, and for a new fan it might seem like enjoying Spider-Man is an insurmountable task.

Luckily, the vast majority of those comics have been collected into dozens of softcover graphic novels, called “trade paperbacks,” and the issues they contain fall into a discernible reading order. This page covers all of them – every issue, every collection – close to every appearance. If you want to figure out the best way to read Spidey, this page is your headquarters.

Looking for more Spider-Man series from 2018 to the present day? See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (2018 – Present).

The Spider-Man Bookshelf

First, to make things less confusing, this guide details distinct formats of classic collections. If you want to stick to a uniform bookshelf full of sequential volumes, these are the way to go!

The Spider-Man Reading Order

Then, I tackle Spider-Man’s titles issue-by-issue, chronologically from his debut through 2018, with all of his series and appearances in reading order. This can be quite an overwhelming web of appearances to crawl through, but it includes everything.

Spider-Man Epic Collections

Have you ever wished you could own an entire series in one consistent, convenient, full-color bookshelf format? Most collectors would scream “YES!” to answer that query, and in 2014 Marvel finally granted their wish with Epic Collections. These are affordable, full-color collections of issues in perfect continuity order without a single gap.

Marvel’s Epic Collections represent a consistent, affordable, full-color bookshelf format of issues in perfect continuity order without a single gap. The catch? Marvel is releasing them in a random order to focus on the biggest gaps first – since early issues are already well-covered by both Essentials and Masterworks.

Epic editions are also listed below in their chronological placement, as they are frequently the only coverage of a specific run.

Essential Spider-ManA sample interior page from Essential Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 1

Marvel’s Essentials line packs tons of comics into each black and white, phone-book-sized edition with newsprint paper.

Essential Editions are not repeated below in their chronological placement, since B&W is not the original format of this series.

Spider-Man Reading Order

Silver Age Spider-Man

Spider-Man's debut in Amazing Fantasy #15Spider-Man was introduced in the final issue of anthology series Amazing Fantasy in 1962, where his origin as an every-day geek turned crime-fighter via mad science and an unfortunate tragedy captured the imagination of an adoring public. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko quickly debuted him in his own title only a few months later, where his first issue featured a guest appearance from The Fantastic Four!

Unlike other pencillers of the time, Ditko’s illustrations of Spider-Man and his gallery of rogues have hardly aged – his iconic early covers depict a bold, lithe version of Spidey that remains relevant to this day. John Romita, Sr. took over art duties with issue #39, and began a run with Lee that would close out the decade and include a series of classic stories still referenced today.

The easiest way to collect this run in full color to is to buy it in Omnibus edition:

Spider-Man’s Brand New Day (2008-2010):
Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #546-647 –
AKA The Bi-Weekly Spidey Merry-Go-Round

One More Day did two major things to reset the status quo, which was a sort of good new / bad news combo for fans.

First, it hit the reset button on some of Spidey’s continuity, including the revelation of his identity to the public and the seriousness of his relationship with Mary Jane. This effectively de-aged the character without making him young, better aligning him the fun and carefree Peter Parker of the cartoons and movies.

As you can imagine, most fans disliked that change. However, the second one was much better received: multiple titles were condensed down just to Amazing, which accelerated to a bi-weekly production schedule with a rotating cast of writers.

This was a genius decision by Marvel, even if it was copying a move from DC’s recent playbook of releasing weekly series for an entire year at a time. This was different – focusing all of the resources of the entire line of spider-books on a single title meant Spidey’s adventures could move quickly and keep fans regularly sated while being easy to follow.

    Very interresting list.
    I was wondering if you knew of any books that would collect the “major” or “essential” or “best” Spider-man stories.
    I found 2 books but they are way out of print:
    1. The Very Best of Sipder-Man (1994)
    * Amazin Fantasy #15 – first Siper-Man appearance
    * If This Be My Destiny…
    * Spider-Man no more
    * The Night Gwen Stacy Died
    * The Kid Who Collects Spiderman
    * Whatever Happened to Crusher Hogan?
    * The Sand and the Fury
    * Fathers and Sins
    * The Osborn Legacy
    2. Spider-Man: Wizard Masterpiece Edition (2004)
    * Nothing Stops the Juggernaut
    * Hyde in Plain Sight
    * The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man
    * Venom Strikes Back
    * The Death of Jean DeWolff

      Jules, I’m not sure how to best answer your question because I am not as well-versed in older Spider-Man stories as I am with X-Men

      All I can say is that these stories definitely ARE classic, but because of when they were collected the list is a very 90s-centric view of what comprised the best of Spider-Man. There have been a lot of major, essential stories since then in the 90s and 00s (and many would likely nominate Ultimate Spider-Man into that list).

    Hi there CK!

    I love the work you do. I notice while going down the Spider-man reading order that one particular oversized hardcover was missing. The Marvel Knights Collection by Mark Millar: https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Knights-Spider-Man-v-1/dp/078511842X. Its in a trade now as you know, but just wanted to point this out in case anyone wanted to hunt down an HC.

      Thanks, Paul! Somehow I had a lot of trouble with those mid-00s OHCs of Spider-Man, as I was missing the “Best of” series too until a reader pointed them out. I’ll add the oversized Millar in my next update.

    Couple of things I noticed you’re missing:

    Spectacular Spider-Man #1000 appears in Spider-Man Fights Substance Abuse along with a pair of 1993 PSA comics, The Amazing Spider-Man: Skating on Thin Ice and The Amazing Spider-Man: Double Trouble (another 2 PSAs from the same time, Hit and Run and Chaos in Calgary have not been collected)

    Peter Parker: Spider-Man 156.1 appears in The Amazing Spider-Man: The World’s Greatest Hero along with the other legacy title point release that came out at the same time: The Sensational Spider-Man 33.1 and 33.2 and Web of Spider-Man 129.1 and 129.2

    The Spider-Man: Fear Itself one-shot is collected in Spider-Man: Family Ties TPB and hardcover, along with Amazing Spider-Man Family (2008) 1-3. You’re also missing The Amazing Spider-Man: The Short Halloween one-shot from 2009 which was collected in an eponymous hardcover along with Amazing Spider-Man Family 4-6. And Amazing Spider-Man Family 8 is collected in Dark Reign: The Sinister Spider-Man TPB

    There’s also Spider-Man Family (2007), the predecessor to Amazing Spider-Man Family, that was collected in digests: 1-3 in Spider-Man Family: Back in Black, 4-6 in Spider-Man Family: Untold Team-Ups and 7-9 in Spider-Man Family: Itsy-Bitsy Battles.

    As you can tell I do my own bit of cataloging of Spider-Man comics, and your site has been a great resource for it! Thanks for all the hard work, and I always look forward to checking out your new content!

    Hi there,

    Just wanted to thank you for this incredible collecting guide. It really has helped me collecting TPBs of my favourite superhero! However, I’d like to know one thing: Is Marvel ever going to release collections for Amazing Spider-Man #419-431, #436-439/Spectacular Spider-Man #242-253/Spider-Man #76-88, #93-95/Sensational Spider-Man #12-24, #29-31? If they have already, I don’t know about it.

    Hey man, maybe you can help me. My question isn’t necessarily comic book related, but it is Spiderman related. I’ve been searching for a particular book for several years. It’s not a comic book. It’s more like a normal novel type. Where every chapter it’s a new villain. I can’t remember the name of the book. Not sure if you’ll be able to help, but figured it worth a try.

    Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine is a ‘Heroic Age’ title that seems to fit somewhere just prior to Grim Hunt or just after it as far as I can tell, but likely prior to Web of Spider-Man #8-10

    The ‘present day’ portions of Spider-Man/Fantastic Four (2010) #4 occurs after Fantastic Four 574 and most likely prior to the Heroic Age so sometime just before or after Grim Hunt seems most likely

    Your ordering is very out of order. I noticed a lot early on. But what caught me on to it even more so was Web of Spider-Man #19.
    You have multiple issues between that and #20 and there shouldn’t be a gap.

    • krisis says

      I think the cause of confusion in that spot is that there’s a break in the action in WOSM #19 where Spidey appears in a few other issues. I don’t break single issues up for reading order purposes, so I recommended reading WOSM #19 first. But, I can see the argument for reading the other stuff first since WOSM continues directly into WOSM #20.

      You’d have to point out where you feel other areas are out of order. They may be subjective calls such as this one or they could be actual mistakes on my part.

    There is also “I (heart) Marvel: Web of Romance” and “Superior Foes of Spider-Man”. Web of Romance takes place during Peter’s time living in Stark tower. The significance of it is that Peter gives MJ webshooters which she would later use way down the line in Superior Spider-Man. As for Superior Foes, it gets you to know who Boomerang is who comes back during Nick Spencer’s run

    Love your guides, best breakdown that include all appearances I’ve ever seen online!
    I’m starting from the beginning and trying to read issue by issue, wherever I can find the reads.

    I noticed a couple of dupes or maybe mistypes in your issue breakdowns.
    After Annual 1, the breakdown for the period from ASM 1-17
    There is no UtoSpM #10 listed
    ASM #16 is there twice, but there is no ASM #15 (I’d assume the first 16 was a mistype)
    After ASM #17 is UtoSpM #20-21, but in the next breakdown your suggestion is to read UtoSpM #20-22 after ASM #18

    Minor stuff like that

    You did not cover this issue by issue. You covered it RERELEASE by rerelease. Retitle this as your not running anything down. Your simple stating which copies and remakes to buy in order to SKIP parts of the series. Issue by issue implies your saying to watched. Amsm # 1-16# then annual first. Then you pick back up at #17. Not oh read this colection and that one. Oh and this random shit was in one and this random crap happened. Dont bother stating WHEN to read them. Like when does spiderman and torch first team up and if not in amsm then what issue and what issue of amsm does it take place. In what issue of amazing spiderman do you stop and pickup spectacular spiderman #1! AND then when do you go back to amazing spiderman!. Kraven the hunt is not number 12 on the reading list. Issue number 12 of amazing spiderman is. Issue by issue is not judt stating what omnibus and what masterwork to fucking read.

      It seems like you’re having some trouble using the guide – I’m sorry to hear that! To be fair, this is by far the most sprawling guide on this entire website. Sometimes *I* even have trouble using it.

      The guide includes an explicit reading order of every Spider-Man issue from 1963 to the mid-00s, at which point it switches to an arc-based reading order. It also explains how every issue is collected. That’s why it’s an issue-by-issue guide!

      For example, you ask “In what issue amazing spiderman do you stop and pickup spectacular spiderman #1.” There is a note that reads, “Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man (SpSM) launches in December 1976 alongside ASM #163 and MTU #52.” Then, the next explicit reading order instruction is, “After ASM #164 & SpSM #2-3, Spidey appears in Ms. Marvel #1 and Marvel Super Special #1.”

      I’m sure I could make that much clearer in the future, so feel free to reply again to let me know your suggestions. I’m planning a significant rebuild of this guide in the next few months, so I am happy to know how this can work better for you.I’d never advocate for skipping anything, so if you see something that I have appeared to skip please leave a comment!

      However, I will never describe what happens in each issue or even call out key issues – that’s just not the mission statement for this site. Basically, I treat all issues as if they are equal! If you’re looking for that kind of information you might want to try a Fandom wiki or something similar.

(The same way you did with other “flashback” series like Untold Tales or Spider-Man/Doc Ock Year One.) I know the Symbiote series was published in 2019, but you have other post-2018 collected editions in here as well?

      Now that Marvel is releasing constant monthly flashback series across of their comic lines, I only tend to place them in continuity order when they are absolutely explicit about filling in a story during a specific time and place in an established run due to an editorial footnote. This was the case for Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin (2024), so I immediately filed it here. Over time I might place some brief comments to approximate the placement of these modern series in older material.
