☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1991 Marvel collection reprints the landmark Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21, which famously depicts the wedding of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, alongside related stories from The Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #7 and other issues that build toward and celebrate the event. It captures a pivotal moment in Spider-Man's personal life, blending superhero action with the character's enduring romantic arc.
In "The Big Question," Peter Parker faces a pivotal moment when Mary Jane declines his marriage proposal, sending her to Pittsburgh where she must confront her sister’s arrest. With Spider-Man under attack by a far more advanced version of the Spider-Slayer robot, Peter must choose between standing by the woman he loves or stopping a dangerous threat. Written by David Michelinie and illustrated by John Romita Jr., with inks by Vince Colletta, colors by George Roussos, and letters by Rick Parker, this 1991 issue features a cover by John Romita.
In a quiet moment between heroics, Peter Parker stumbles upon a church rummage sale while searching for his old microscope—only to find himself caught in a sudden crisis when a thief tries to steal a priceless religious artifact. Amid the chaos, with Mary Jane watching and Aunt May nearby, Peter takes a breath and asks her the question that’s been on his mind. The city buzzes around them, even as Mayor Ed Koch and J. Jonah Jameson make their presence felt, and the shadow of Uncle Ben’s memory lingers—just as a mysterious new threat, The Preserver, begins to stir.
In "Dark Journey!", Peter Parker faces a wrenching choice when Mary Jane Watson turns down his marriage proposal and rushes to Pittsburgh to help her sister, Gayle Watson-Byrnes, who’s in jail. As Spider-Man, he’s soon ambushed by the newly upgraded Spider-Slayer, Alistair Smythe, who’s more dangerous than ever. With Mary Jane pleading for his help and Smythe tracking his every move, Peter must decide whether to stand by the woman he loves or stop a villain who’s hunting him across the country.
In "Growing Pains!", Peter Parker arrives in Pittsburgh to meet Mary Jane Watson’s father, Phillip, only to find himself caught between a tense family reunion and a high-stakes showdown with the Spider-Slayer robot. As Spider-Man battles Alistaire Smythe’s mechanical menace, Mary Jane uncovers the truth about her crooked father and clears her sister Gayle’s name, setting the stage for a pivotal moment in her relationship with Peter.
