Exploring the nearly lost Spider-Man UK magazine featuring Doctor Carnage?! (1999)

Join me for a deep-dive into a very rare piece of Spider-Man’s publishing history! We’re spotlighting The Spectacular Spider-Man Adventures #52 published by Panini in the UK and released in September of 1999. This issue of the kid-centric magazine is notable not only for being its first issue featuring original story content exclusive to the UK, but also for how said story contains a concept never seen in the American published Marvel Comics to this day. It was never reprinted again anywhere else, either. Can you say “Doctor Carnage?“
