This title captures the storylines from the ongoing Spider-Man newspaper written by Stan Lee and offered by King Features. The strip started in 1977, and is syndicated in many newspapers. The stories are not set in the "comic book" continuity, but are in their own slowly-changing world which avoids most of the extreme character shifts which tend to happen in the mainstream continuity.
