scans_dailySENSASTIONAL SPIDER-MAN was a magazine in 1968. Just two issues, one in black and white.
And the first issue had Stan Lee slightly redoing Spider-Man origin, with art by Larry Lieber and embellishments by Bill Everett.
Just two pages of a ten page story.
We start with Ben Parker's sparse (?) funeral, and Peter thinking how he was the one who killed him.
Then the flashback starts, skipping anything about one more person being needed for a dance... however that works. Nothing about a roomful of alarm clocks or wheatcakes either. (What would you do with a roomful of wheatcakes?)
Anyway, radiation display, a spider bites Peter. Peter feels funny.
Is the "racing form" imporant? No one notices a lamp post getting punched in half.
More stuff is skipped. Nothing with Crusher Hogan or Maxie the agent. Peter goes straight to making the web shooters and the costume. He wants to pay back Ben and May for taking care of him.
This time, the thief runs right by Spider-Man when he's first arriving at the TV studio. "That's your job, not mine" he says to the guard.
Spider-Man is an overnight sensation. Nothing about how a guy in a mask gets paid. They didn't mention that for a little bit. A day or two later, Peter arrives home to see police cars outside his house. Ben Parker was shot and killed by a burglar.
Peter runs inside and sneaks out his window, unaware if any neighbors might be watching, and goes to the ACME Warehouse.
The burglar goes down in one punch. And then...
Nothing about leaving the burglar for the cops outside.
The first episode of the second season of the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon uses dialog almost word-for-word from this story.
