Indexer Notes

Cover art is an homage to the cover of The Amazing Spider-Man (Marvel, 1963 series) #300 (May 1988). In a recent YouTube video McFarlane said this cover was originally supposed to be the newsstand edition of issue #300. But Marvel executives said, "No one is going to buy 2 copies." So they used it for issue #301 instead.
