Everything’s coming up Spider-Man lately. Barely a week passes without news of some new movie, TV or game featuring our favorite wall-crawler. Currently, fans are celebrating the return of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. To celebrate our love of the wonderful wall-crawler, we're looking back on his greatest comic book stories -- not an easy feat with over 60 years of history to dig through. Be warned, though, if you've never read these stories, there are spoilers within. Most of said spoilers are decades old, but hey, you never know.
