The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker, a high school student from Queens behind Spider-Man's secret identity and with whose "self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness" young readers could relate.
Serial Spider-Man memecahkan masalah dengan menampilkan Peter Parker, siswa SMA di balik identitas rahasia Spider-Man dan dengan "obsesi diri dengan penolakan, ketidakmampuan, dan kesepian" sehingga pembaca muda bisa berhubungan.
