Spider-Man in film
The first live-action film based on Spider-Man was the unauthorized short "Spider-Man" by Donald F. Glut in 1969. This was followed by "Spider-Man", an American made-for-television film that premiered on the CBS network in 1977. It starred Nicholas Hammond and was intended as a backdoor pilot for what became a weekly episodic TV series.
Spider-Man
When primary series "The Amazing Spider-Man" reached issue #545 (December 2007), Marvel dropped its spin-off ongoing series and instead began publishing "The Amazing Spider-Man" three times monthly, beginning with #546–548 (all January 2008). The three times monthly scheduling of "The Amazing Spider-Man" lasted until November 2010 when the comic book was increased from 22 pages to 30 pages each issue and published only twice a month, beginning with #648–649 (both November 2010). The following year, Marvel launched "Avenging Spider-Man" as the first spinoff ongoing series in addition to the still twice monthly "The Amazing Spider-Man" since the previous ones were cancelled at the end of 2007. The "Amazing" series temporarily ended with issue #700 in December 2012, and was replaced by "The Superior Spider-Man", which had Doctor Octopus serve as the new Spider-Man, having taken over Peter Parker's body. "Superior" was an enormous commercial success for Marvel, and ran for 31-issue before the real Peter Parker returned in a newly relaunched "The Amazing Spider-Man" #1 in April 2014.
