SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #189: An Aunt May theory
The 30th Anniversary of Spider-Man had four supersized issued with holographic covers. They also had backup stories that showed parts of Spider-Man's origin from other perspectives. Here's part of Aunt May's perspective, with an idea that her dislike of Spider-Man didn't stem from what the Daily Bugle said.
Two pages of a five page story.
So, Aunt May went all the way out to that warehouse, huh?
Spider-Man always being around when a super-villain murders a loved one would cause anyone to not like him.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #200 actually put a stop to "May doesn't like Spider-Man." A few fans thought that was when May "figured out the truth" as seen in AMAZING #400. That was retconned by John Byrne in THE FINAL CHAPTER, supposedly because if Aunt May died, Peter would quit being Spider-Man "for real." I don't get that.

I'd really like Marvel to put out some DeMatteis Epic Collections off his Spidey run(s?), much like I'd love them to do the same to Carey's X-Men work.
