The Amazing Spider-Man #101, specifically the 1992 version, is a highly sought-after second printing of the original 1971 comic. It is most famous for featuring the first appearance of Morbius the Living Vampire. 

Key Storyline: "A Monster Called Morbius!"

This issue follows one of Spider-Man's most bizarre transformations, known as the "Six Arms Saga": 

  • The Transformation: After taking a experimental serum intended to remove his spider-powers, Peter Parker accidentally grows four extra arms, giving him a total of eight limbs.
  • Morbius's Debut: While seeking a cure at Dr. Curt Connors' beach house, Spider-Man encounters Michael Morbius, a scientist who transformed himself into a "living vampire" after a failed experiment to cure his own rare blood disease.
  • The Lizard's Role: The stress of the encounter causes Dr. Connors to transform into The Lizard, leading to a three-way battle between Spider-Man, Morbius, and the Lizard. 

Why the 1992 Reprint is Special

The 1992 edition was part of a series of reprints and is easily identified by its unique silver metallic ink cover.
