It's the 100th anniversary issue of the Amazing Spider-Man title -- with an all-time cover! Peter Parker wants to live a normal life with Gwen Stacy.

And when he wakes up...he gets the biggest shock of his amazing life! Flashback cameos by Aunt May, J. Jonah Jameson, Betty Brant, Gwen Stacy, and Captain Stacy.
