Since making his debut in 1962, via the pages of Amazing Fantasy #15, Spider-Man has been at the centre of many great storylines and events; from the death of Gwen Stacy and the introduction of Carnage, to the infamous Clone Saga and the controversial One More Day. In fact, Spidey has had so many adventures, that it can be difficult to keep track of all the major (and sometimes minor) stories.

But fear not, I am here to help, with list of some of the major Spider-Man events in chronological order. This list covers Spidey’s first appearance through to more recent tales.
