Comics : Electric Company Magazine : #16-#42

Section Name: Spider-Man Other Universes
Base Level: No Spider-Man

This is a magazine format title for kids, designed to tie in with the Electric Company, and the Spidey Super Stories comic. Many issues featured a 4 or 5 page Spidey story in a similar style to the SSS plots.

Towards the end, many stories were just reprinted from earlier issues, and Spidey was dropped completely just before the run ended. If there is no info, it means Spidey is definitely not in the issue. If the phrase "Missing Info (Maybe Spider-Man)" appears, it means we don't know if Spidey was in there or not.

Like many magazines, especially those aimed at kids, these issues are hard to find in good grades, or even in any grade. The prices are typically on the high side to reflect this.
