Spider-Man kicked off the debut of the Ultimate Marvel universe with the creative collaboration of Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. Depicting a teenage Peter Parker just beginning his crimefighting career, this series played with the conventions of the Spider-Man mythos by casting Peter Parker as the Daily Bugle's web page administrator and by having his secret identity quickly become a secret he cannot keep.
The collaboration between Bendis and Bagley is notable for breaking the record for longest unbroken collaboration of a writer-artist team at Marvel Comics. This record was previously set at the very formation of the Marvel universe by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four. While Bagley had ample experience depicting the adult version of Peter Parker from his previous work on Spider-Man, this was Bendis' first work at Marvel Comics. Bendis would go on to become one of the principle architects of both the Ultimate universe as well as the traditional Marvel universe. |
