''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' is the name of two comic book series published by Marvel Comics, both of which feature the character Spider-Man. ==Volume One (1990–98)== ''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' (originally titled simply ''Spider-Man''), was a monthly comic book series published by Marvel Comics that ran for 98 issues from 1990 to 1998. The series was retitled ''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' with issue #75, but only on the covers, the series was still under its original ''Spider-Man'' title in the comic's legal indicia, printed on the title page, from #75 to #98; the comic book would not officially be titled ''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' until the volume 2 series relaunch. The series originally was conceived as a showcase for Todd McFarlane. McFarlane, who until then had only been known as an artist, was hugely popular at the time and the series was created by editor Jim Salicrup so that McFarlane could pencil, ink, and write a Spider-Man title of his own, starting with the "Torment" storyline. The series was a massive sales success with over 2.5 million copies printed. McFarlane stayed on the title until issue #16 (November 1991) in which the story was printed in a landscape format.〔Cowsill "1990s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 195: "Writer and artist Todd McFarlane's final ''Spider-Man'' issue pitted the web-slinger against the Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy. The issue literally went sideways, which allowed McFarlane to use the landscape page size to maximum effect."〕 He would go on to create the character Spawn and help found Image Comics in 1992. He was succeeded on the title by Erik Larsen, who had succeeded McFarlane on ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' two years earlier, and would later join him in the founding of Image. Larsen wrote and drew the six-issue story arc "Revenge of the Sinister Six" (#18–23).〔Cowsill "1990s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 196: "Writer and artist Erik Larsen pulled out all the stops for his Spidey swansong."〕 Writer Don McGregor and artist Marshall Rogers crafted a two-part story in issues #27–28 dealing with gun violence.〔Cowsill "1990s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 200: "Writer Don McGregor and artist Marshall Rogers created one of the most original Spidey stories of the year with this two-part tale. The story told of events that happened after bullied 12-year-old Elmo Oliver found a gun dropped by a bad guy during a shootout...Once again, a Spider-Man story provided a platform for real-life issues."〕 After that came a quick procession of different contributors, including writers Tom DeFalco, Ann Nocenti, David Michelinie, J. M. DeMatteis and Terry Kavanagh, and pencillers Ron Frenz, Klaus Janson and Jae Lee. The rotating creative team was solidified with ''Spider-Man'' #44 (March 1994) when writer Howard Mackie and penciller Tom Lyle took over the title; Lyle lasted until issue #61, and Mackie for over six years. The series went on to play a key role throughout the Clone Saga, becoming one of two Spider-Man titles that shifted focus to the new Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider character with issue #51 (November 1994).〔Cowsill "1990s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 215: "The Spider-Man titles split into two groups this month with ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' and ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' continuing to feature Peter Parker and ''Web of Spider-Man'' and ''Spider-Man'' sharing a story about the further adventures of clone Ben Reilly."〕 The series' run was interrupted by that saga in issues #63 and 64 (Nov.-Dec. 1995), when the title was renumbered to #1 and renamed ''Scarlet Spider''. ''Spider-Man'' resumed with #65 (Jan. 1996), with Ben Reilly replacing Peter Parker as Spider-Man. Intended as a permanent change, Reilly's status as the new Spider-Man was cut short when Bob Harras was named new Editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics in February 1996, and ordered the reinstatement of the character's Peter Parker identity. ''Spider-Man'' was the title in which this was to and in #75 (December 1996), by Mackie and John Romita Jr., Ben Reilly was killed by the resurrected original Green Goblin – who had seemingly died in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #122 (July 1973) – and Peter Parker returned to the role of Spider-Man. That same issue, the title of the series was changed to ''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' to concretely establish that the original Spider-Man was being depicted.〔Cowsill "1990s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 231: "The Clone Saga came to a sense-shattering climax this issue."〕 The series had a brief interlude in July 1997 with Marvel's one-month "Flashback" event, when all Marvel titles were numbered −1 and each was set before the events of ''Fantastic Four'' #1. This #-1 was published between issues #81 and 82.〔Cowsill "1990s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 237: "Marvel had a 'Flashback month' in July when they released special '-1' issues set in the past...''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' #-1 featured Arthur and George Stacy investigating goings-on at Oscorp."〕 The series then continued uninterrupted until the arrival of John Byrne to the Spider-Man titles heralded a relaunch of the entire line. The book was cancelled with #98 (Dec. 1998) and relaunched as Vol. 2 almost immediately afterward. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Parker: Spider-Man」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
