Previously titled Super Spider-Man TV Comic in hopes of appealing to fans of the live-action Spider-Man TV show, Marvel UK's longest running title became simply Spider-Man on 6th October 1982 with #500, absorbing the failing Incredible Hulk comic the same week. Spider-Woman rejoined the title with #517 on 2nd February 1983 when her cartoon began airing in the UK, reprinting the same comics which had appeared in Spider-Man and Hulk Weekly (a prior name for Spider-Man) less than three years earlier. Fantastic Four returned to the title with #529 on 27th April 1983, following the cancellation of their own title.
The last issue using the title Spider-Man, for the time being at least, was #552 on 5th October 1983; a week later the comic retitled to Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.
