☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2003 collected edition reprints the six-issue miniseries Spider-Man: Blue, a retrospective story by writer Jeff Loeb and artist Tim Sale. Framed as a recording made by Peter Parker years later, the narrative revisits his early days as Spider-Man, focusing on his relationships with Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn, and the emotional weight of loss. The volume collects issues #1-6 of the original series.
In "My Funny Valentine," Peter Parker and Aunt May face a difficult decision about their future together, while a desperate Adrian Toomes, weakened and imprisoned, is drawn into a dangerous bargain with Blackie Drago. Drago, seizing the chance to become the new Vulture, escapes and takes up the mantle on New Year's Eve—setting the stage for a brutal clash with Spider-Man. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated with striking, moody precision by Tim Sale, with colors by Steve Buccellato and lettering by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, this issue delivers a tense, character-driven story with a haunting, atmospheric edge. The cover by Tim Sale captures the story's somber tone with a chilling, intimate portrait of Peter in shadow.
In "My Funny Valentine," Peter Parker grapples with the aftermath of defeating the Green Goblin, hiding a secret that could unravel everything. Meanwhile, he buys a motorcycle, Mary Jane shares quiet moments with Aunt May, and the distance between them lingers—just out of reach.
In "Autumn in New York," Peter Parker and Aunt May face the quiet weight of changing routines as they consider new living arrangements. Meanwhile, in prison, a desperate Blackie Drago manipulates the frail Adrian Toomes into revealing the location of the Vulture suit, setting off a chain of events that culminates in Drago’s escape and a brutal clash with Spider-Man on New Year’s Eve.
In "If I Had You," Peter Parker adjusts to life in a new apartment with Harry Osborn, while tensions simmer between Gwen and Mary Jane as their rivalry for Peter’s attention begins to take shape. Meanwhile, Kraven the Hunter manipulates the two Vultures into a deadly clash—only for Spider-Man to intervene and bring them both down.
In "All of Me," Peter Parker reflects on the aftermath of Gwen Stacy’s death, tracing how her loss reshaped the lives of those around him—especially Mary Jane, whose grief runs deep. As Spider-Man stands victorious over Kraven the Hunter and Flash Thompson prepares to leave for the Army, Peter finds himself caught between memories and the quiet weight of what’s been lost.
