Since the characters inception in the 1960s, Spider-Man has appeared in several forms of media, including novels and book series.

Original solo novels

The Amazing Spider-Man: Mayhem in Manhattan (1978)

No. 1 of the Marvel Pocket Novels. Written by Len Wein and Marv Wolfman.[1][2][3][4][5] Doctor Octopus is blackmailing the top eight CEO's of various U.S. oil companies in order to get a stranglehold on U.S. oil. He also tries to convince those same CEO's that he has rendered their oil radioactive and thereby useless. For one year, they must secretly agree to buy oil from Doctor Octopus instead and, at the end of that time, they can go back to business as usual.[6]

The Amazing Spider-Man: Crime Campaign (1979)

No. 8 of the Marvel Pocket Novels. Written by Paul Kupperberg.[7][8] The plot concerns a TV anchorman whose daughter has been kidnapped by the Kingpin, who has forced the popular media frontsman to stand as Mayor. The Kingpin has taken millions of dollars from the other ganglords in order to cut them into his plan, which is to push his candidate into becoming Mayor. Peter Parker manages to convince J. Jonah Jameson into running for Mayor also. Secondly, Parker gets sent to cover a mayoral rally and thirdly, Silvermane's plan to secretly undermine the Kingpin's authority has him using a fake Spider-Man to threaten the Kingpin's candidate, and to lead the real Spider-Man into conflict with the Kingpin. While this is all happening, Jameson has hired a private investigator named Cindy Sayers to pretend to be his niece in order to find out how Peter Parker can get so many pictures of Spider-Man.[9]

The Hulk and Spider-Man: Murdermoon (1979)

No. 11 of the Marvel Pocket Novels and a sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man: Crime Campaign, also written by Paul Kupperberg.[10][11][12][13][14][15] The book begins with the Hulk fighting the U.S. military in a desert, but then cuts to Spider-Man intervening in a raid on a company doing research for NASA. The wall-crawler does not quite save the day but, returning to the Bugle, he immediately gets dropped into a story to cover the latest StarLab spy-in-the-sky satellite, which is due to drop back out of the sky. That story takes Parker out to a U.S. aircraft carrier. But when the satellite vanishes from the radar, trouble arises. Meanwhile, Bruce Banner is reading a newspaper advertisement offering a potential treatment for his condition. He follows up on the ad, but finds himself kidnapped by the villain and, as the Hulk, gets brainwashed into fighting Spider-Man.[16]

Spider-Man: Carnage in New York (1995)

Written by David Michelinie and Dean Wesley Smith.[17][18][19] A man named Catrall is on the run from the FBI because he has a serum that will drive anyone who comes into contact with it into a killer rage. He created the serum as a byproduct of studies designed to eliminate violent behavior. Meanwhile, an experiment is being run to try to kill the Carnage symbiote without killing Casady, its host. Catrall shows up because he thinks that he can destroy the serum in the firewall that is holding Casady. Catrall accidentally frees Carnage without destroying the serum. Carnage fights with Spider-Man, but escapes before he can be defeated. Spider-Man looks all over New York, finds Catrall, and finds out about the experiments that led to the serum and that Carnage found Catrall first, and took the serum. Carnage is planning to put the serum in a meal being made for some homeless people during a fundraiser being put together by Jonah Jameson. Spider-Man finds Carnage, fights in front of the audience, and then defeats Carnage. He takes the serum to Reed Richards to be kept out of the wrong hands.[20]

Spider-Man: Goblin's Revenge (1996)

A sequel to Spider-Man: Carnage in New York also written by Dean Wesley Smith.[21][22][23] After Spider-Man leaves the serum with Reed Richards, the Green Goblin steals the unsecured serum from Richards. The identity of the Goblin is in question for most of the book, although there are clues early on. After the serum is stolen, Peter begins to have nightmares; he dreams that New York is covered with blood. Peter is about to go insane, in part because of the serum, partly because of sightings of the supposedly dead Norman Osborn, and partly because the Goblin is about to push Mary Jane off of the Brooklyn Bridge, in a scene that is designed to draw him back into the death of Gwen. The book ends with Spider-Man defeating both Carnage and the Goblin at the bridge and finding out the identity of the Goblin.[24]
