El Sorprendente Hombre Araña (The Amazing Spider-Man) was a comic series originally published in Mexico. Initially it featured only reprints of mostly Amazing Spider-Man, interspersed with Ant-Man stories from Tales to Astonish and Avengers[1] However, after moving to bi-weekly, the publishers realized they would soon catch up to the current release schedule at Marvel. Not wanting to go without any Spider-Man comics, the director of La Prensa visited Marvel in New York, who gave them permission to license their own stories and selected José Luis Durán to draw nearly all issues. In total 45 original issues were created, starting with #123.[2]
