Untold Tales of Spider-Man

Set in the early days of Peter Parker's career, Untold Tales of Spider-Man (1995–1997, Marvel) filled in the gaps between classic Amazing Spider-Man issues, offering fresh, in-continuity stories from his high school years. Written primarily by Kurt Busiek and Tom DeFalco, with art by Pat Olliffe and Ron Frenz, the series explored Peter's relationships with Flash Thompson, Liz Allan, and Aunt May, while delivering the kind of street-level heroics that defined the character's earliest adventures. A beloved addition to Spider-Man lore, it remains a masterclass in retroactive storytelling, honoring the original Lee/Ditko era without ever feeling like a simple rehash.
