Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #150 – Spider-Man’s Clone Identity Crisis!
Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #150 (November 1975), written by Archie Goodwin with pencils by Gil Kane and inks by Mike Esposito and Frank Giacoia, is a pivotal Bronze Age issue. Reeling from his battle with the Jackal and a Spider-Clone, Spider-Man grapples with an existential crisis, questioning whether he’s the real Peter Parker or a clone with implanted memories. Seeking answers, he turns to Dr. Curt Connors for scientific clarity, but the investigation is interrupted when Spencer Smythe attacks with advanced Spider-Slayer weaponry. This milestone 150th issue blends psychological drama, high-tech action, and a landmark moment in Spider-Man’s mythos.
