“What If Someone Else Had Become -- the Amazing Spider-Man”

In What If? #7, Marvel explores a fascinating divergence: what if Peter Parker hadn’t been bitten by the radioactive spider? Flash Thompson dons the web-suit as Captain Spider, Betty Brant becomes Spider-Girl, and John Jameson takes up the mantle as Spider Jameson—all before Peter ultimately steps into his destiny as Spider-Man. Written by Don Glut and Roy Thomas, with art by Rick Hoberg and inks by Sam Grainger, this 1978 classic features dynamic storytelling and bold alternate paths, all anchored by the iconic cover by Gil Kane and Joe Sinnott.
