comic book series starringSpider-Man published byMarvel Comics for 35 issues (#0-33, with # -1 published in July 1997 between #17 and #18), from January 1996 until November 1998.The title was initially conceived to be the
flagship showcase for the new Ben Reilly Spider-Man. It replaced the "Web of Spider-Man " series.The initial seven issues (#0-6, January-July, 1996) were written and pencilled by
Dan Jurgens , who had helped revive interest inSuperman forDC Comics in the mid 1990s. Jurgens pushed strongly for the restoration of Peter Parker as the true Spider-Man and plans were made to enact this soon, butBob Harras , the newEditor-in-chief , demanded the story be deferred until after the "Onslaught" crossover. Jurgens had by this stage become disillusioned with the immense amount of group planning and constant changes of ideas and directions and took this as the last straw, resigning from the title.He was succeeded by writer
Todd DeZago and pencillerMike Wieringo , who remained as the title's regular creative team for the remainder of its run. It lasted for 35 issues (33 regularly numbered issues as well as an initial issue "0" and the "-1" "Flashback" issue, released mid-run).In February 2006, with issue #23, the series "Marvel Knights Spider-Man" was moved from the
Marvel Knights imprint and renamed "The Sensational Spider-Man" volume 2.Collections
Issues #13-15 of "The Sensational Spider-Man" (vol. 1) were reprinted in the "Spider-Man: Savage Land"
prestige format trade paperback (ISBN 0-7851-0563-8) in June 1997 (with the book titled as "Spider-Man: The Savage Land Saga!" on the cover only).ources
