This classic issue marks the quiet, unassuming first mention of Mary Jane Watson—the swinging redhead who would finally become Peter Parker's Lois Lane after the death of Gwen Stacy. More dramatically, this issue boasts the first appearance of Kraven the Hunter, given a typically grandiose and eye-catching look by the gifted Steve Ditko and a characteristically tragic backstory from Stan Lee. There's also the second appearance of the mysterious superspy called The Chameleon, who'll be making his own big-screen debut in the Kraven the Hunter film.
