About the series
In 1998, John Byrne both wrote and illustrated this 13-issue Marvel series, a modernized reimagining of Spider-Man's earliest adventures. Rather than a simple retelling, Chapter One weaves classic villains like Electro into a revised origin, while spotlighting Peter Parker's dynamic with J. Jonah Jameson and his friendship with the Human Torch, Johnny Storm. Byrne's solo creative control gives the series a cohesive vision, offering a fresh take on foundational Spider-Man lore for a late-90s audience.
