There's a phenomenon known as Early Instalment Weirdness that plagues many series that never anticipated a long run. Initially, when Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created Spider-Man in 1962, it was considered a risky idea - never before had there been a teenage superhero who didn't function as a sidekick. Stan Lee's editor advised him against it, but as a compromise allowed the first Spidey story to appear in the last issue of Amazing Fantasy (number 15, if you were interested), right before it got cancelled.

Eventually fan response made it to Marvel; Lee and Goodman knew that they had something huge in their hands, but neither of them could have imagined the character would still be swinging around Manhattan fifty years later.

As a result, some of the moments from early Spider-Man stories are a little weird and looking back at them now makes the character's longevity all the more surprising...

5. J. Jonah Jameson Is The Publisher Of NOW Magazine - Not The Daily Bugle

In Amazing Spider-Man #2, we find everyones favorite curmudgeon J. Jonah Jameson in his executive suite located in the J. Jonah Jameson Publishing building.

This despite Jameson writing an editorial in the Daily Bugle in ASM #1 (the article in question lambasted Spider-Man the day after he saved Jamesons son Johns space capsule from crashing jerk).

Stan Lee is notorious for mixing up details of the numerous titles he was juggling. He even mistakenly gave Peter's last name as Palmer in one panel of the debut issue. So, it's very possible Lee simply forgot where Jameson was supposed to work.

Needless to say, the Jameson building and NOW Magazine didn't make it past those early issues.
