About the series
In Spider-Man: Life Story (2019, Marvel), Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley reimagine Peter Parker’s entire career in real time, aging him from his 1960s debut through the decades to the present day in a single, six-issue arc. Each issue jumps forward roughly ten years, grounding classic Spider-Man milestones in the political and cultural context of their era—from the Vietnam War to the rise of corporate superheroics. It’s a poignant, compressed take on a lifetime of responsibility, showing how Peter’s world (and his costume) evolves as he grows older, wiser, and wearier.
