Amazing Spider-Man
Joe Straczynski was the writer of Marvel Comics' Amazing Spider-Man for over six and a half years. Straczynski started off by introducing the character of Ezekiel who forever changes the way Peter Parker views himself and Spider-Man. He also made some changes in Peter's personal life and introduced a new villain named Morlun. Straczynski wanted to take risks, experiment, and bring Peter Parker into the 21st Century.
J. Michael Straczynski, John Romita Jr. and Scott Hanna won the 2002 Eisner Award for Best Serialized Story for "Coming Home", which appeared in issues 30 through 35 of Amazing Spider-Man.
Straczynski's planned story line was interrupted by Issue 36. Marvel comics asked Straczynski to address the September 11th terrorist attack in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man. Straczynski accepted the challenge only after the story came to him in a rush. On the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks, J. Michael Straczynski provided the text of Amazing Spider-Man 36 - slightly modified to be more general - for those who were unable to read the comic book.
John Romita Jr. was the artist through Issue 508. Mike Deodato Jr. took over the art chores in Issue 509.
As part of crossover stories, Straczynski occasionally wrote other Spider-Man titles. They are also lised on this page.
