* SuperCostumeClothier: Issue #502 introduced Leo Zelinsky tailor to heroes and villains alike, though to prevent fights from starting in his store he see heroes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and villains on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He's less "high end fashion designer" and more "small business owning old fashioned tailor" but he is one of the few people on either side of the hero / villain divide who can fix things like pants that can be worn by [[ComicBook/TheThing a 7 foot tall brawler with skin made of rocks]] or who can patch holes in the cape of [[Characters/MarvelComicsDoctorDoom Dr Victor Von Doom]].

''The Amazing Spider-Man'' is a 1999 superhero comic book from Creator/MarvelComics, a {{long runner|s}} that ran until 2013.
It is the second series to use the ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan Amazing Spider-Man]]'' title, and was folded back into [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan1963 Legacy numbering]] following the 58th issue in 2003. Despite the renumbering, Marvel generally treats issue #545 onwards as a continuation of this series, not a revival of the original 1963 title.
The series is notable for being helmed by a series of writers--Howard Mackie, John Byrne, J. Michael Straczynski, Zeb Wells, and Dan Slott--and a variety of artists; with Mackie's run in particular crossing over with the concurrently running ''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' and being published alongside ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' (Vol 1).
As the turn of the millennium approaches, Spider-Man struggles to deal with the aftermath of ComicBook/{{the Clone Saga}}--chiefly the triumphant return of his long-though-dead nemesis Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. As new villains crawl out of the woodwork and old ones make resurgences, the apparent death of his wife Mary Jane upends Peter's life even more.
Stepping into the twenty-first century, encounters with the enigmatic Ezekiel and vicious Morlun change everything Spider-Man thought he knew about his powers, the ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}} forces Peter to make some hard choices that have drastic repercussions, and Norman Osborn's [[ComicBook/DarkReign rise to power]] threatens to make superheroes an endangered species. Just as Peter starts coming into his own as an employee of Horizon Labs, one of his earliest enemies makes a move that will change Peter's life for the worse.

!!''The Amazing Spider-Man'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AgeGapRomance: Fifteen-year-old Mattie Franklin attempts to initiate one with the twenty-something Peter Parker, forcibly kissing him as he tries to [[KissOfLife give her CPR]] before declaring that Mary Jane's apparent death means they're destined to be together.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Senator Ward tears the Venom symbiote off Eddie Brock in #22, leaving him powerless until it returns to him.
* ContinuityOverlap: Howard Mackie's run in the 1990s was heavily interwoven with the concurrently published ''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' and ''ComicBook/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', with storylines often alternating between the issues of the series.
* DespairEventHorizon: Peter becomes depressed after Mary Jane seemingly dies in a plane crash in #13, finding himself just going through the motions as Spider-Man.
* DrivenToSuicide: Anne Weying, Eddie Brock's ex-wife, commits suicide in #19, out of paranoia that the Venom symbiote is coming to take over her and turn her into a monster again. Eddie blames Spider-Man, who'd unwittingly swung past Anne's apartment wearing his black suit, but it was Eddie transforming into Venom right in front of her to chase Spider-Man away that pushed her over the edge.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The series introduces a number of major status quo changes--such as the revelation that Peter's powers are supernatural in origin, Peter obtaining organic webbing after a run-in with the Queen, Peter leaving his life as a struggling freelance photographer and part-time teacher behind to work at Horizon Labs, Eddie Brock becoming Anti-Venom, and Flash Thompson becoming Agent Venom.
* TearOffYourFace: Peter once ripped part of ComicBook/NormanOsborn's face off when he stuck to it with his [[WallCrawl stickum' powers]] during ''American Son''. It's not how Creator/StanLee imagined it being used, but awesome regardless.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Following getting amnesia in ''Venom: The Finale'', Eddie Brock relapses into being a supervillain and even joins the Sinister Six. However, their mockery of the symbiote's mundane weaknesses leads to him turning on and trying to kill them--even eating a chunk out of the Sandman.
