Aw yeah! Who didn’t love the universe-merged aftermath of DC vs. Marvel? Fighting villains like Bizarnage and Insect Queen a.k.a. Mary Jane Watson, Daily Bugle photographer Pete Ross fights crime as the Arach-Kid Spider-Boy, brought to life by Karl Kesel and the late, great Mike Wieringo!
Isn’t this neat?
Pat Olliffe, famous for Untold Tales of Spider-Man and Spider-Girl, penciled this comic book adaptation of Spider-Man 2, where the final scene has a nod to ASM#42.

Sooooo…… 90’s……
Fantasyfreak, not sure what issues of Amalgam DC Marvel Crossovers you are looking for, but if you head over to Mycomicshop.com, they have this Spider-Boy issue for $1 and several other titles. Do a search for Spider-Boy, then click on the Amalgam DC Marvel Crossover link and you will get all the issues that Mycomicshop has. They had about 2 dozen in stock of various titles…
@ #10 Let us know how that goes, okay?
I did reviews for the two Spider-boy one shots on a my blog a little while ago.

@Iron Patriot: *sigh* that´s what I thought.
@herbiepopnecker: I´m not so sure I could afford it, but I´ll give it a try 🙂 Hadn´t thought about it actually, thanks!
@ #7 Have you tried ebay?
@Fantasyfreak-They have been reprinted in trades, actually. They are out of print though so it’s not a very viable option.
I haven been trying to hunt down some of these amalgam comics but I can´t seem to find them anywhere. I wish comixology could put them up, that would probably be the easiest way for me to get them. Unless they are released in trades, but that will never happen, will it? 😀
Loved that Pete Ross was Spider-Boy’s secret identity at the Bugle, complete with the nerdy glasses. I actually would have enjoyed reading more issues.
I had forgotten about those. I think I remember liking the Punisher and Wonder Woman team up (Bracelets and Bullets, I believe) the best.
During that crossover I had no idea that the Spider-man in those titles was Ben
That the issue that landed him on SENSATIONAL.
The one thing I remembered most? While everybody else was fighting, Robin and Jubilee were out on a date.
I remember reading some of these. I thought they were loads of fun.
