Where it came from
The Amazing Spider-Man issue 171 was published by Marvel Comics in August 1977. Part of the long-running series created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, this specific issue arrived during a period of transition for the title, occurring shortly after the conclusion of the 'Clone Saga' and as the book settled into the mid-Bronze Age era of storytelling.
The issue features cover art and interior pencils by Ross Andru, a definitive artist for the character during the mid-1970s. Written by Len Wein, the story continues the narrative of Peter Parker’s academic and personal struggles, maintaining the grounded, soap-opera-influenced style that became the hallmark of the Amazing Spider-Man series throughout its decades of publication.
