* ''The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man'' was an short back-up story in an otherwise forgettable issue. Spidey reads a newspaper article about a kid who idolizes him and wants to meet him. Spidey goes to visit the kid. They talk, the kid shows him his (very impressive) Spider-Man memorabilia collection. The kid also asks him "how does Peter Parker get all those great pictures of you?" which Spidey kind of dodges (since he '''is''' Peter Parker), and pesters him to tell him his secret identity, which he refuses to reveal. Spidey then starts to leave... turns back... [[spoiler: and explains that Peter Parker gets those great photos of him because... he ''is'' Peter Parker. And then takes off his mask]]. Spidey then leaves, and we see him standing on a wall in front of the building the kid was in, and a sign reveals it's a hospital. Spidey is unmasked, and the "camera" pulls in, and he's crying. And we see the rest of the newspaper article. The reporter writes that he really hopes Spider-Man sees the article, [[spoiler: because the kid has leukemia, and his doctors say he has only a few weeks to live.]]

----* [[https://imgur.com/gTjsgvU This one shot comic]], where Spider-Man saves a pregnant woman from a car accident who then wants to name her unborn son after him. Instead of giving her his real name, Spidey tells her to name call the baby "Ben", after you know who. Later on, counting as both a moment of funny and heartwarming, the pregnant woman goes back on her promise not to reveal Spider-Man's "real" name, leading to a bunch of baby boys being given the name "Ben", which to the parents who chose the name is to honor one of the greatest superheros in the Marvel Universe, but in reality is honoring the man who ''raised'' one of the greatest superheros in the Marvel Universe.

* The story begins as Peter comes home to his apartment only to be attacked by armed thugs. A mysterious woman saves him and they escaped; who is this person? [[spoiler: His long-lost younger sister, Teresa Parker.]] The story follows them on a world spanning adventure as they trace their parents' footsteps who were CIA agents. Though at first skeptical, Peter quickly warms to the idea of a newfound sibling and even shares his identity as Spider-Man with her, even battling against Wilson Fisk. [[spoiler: sadly Fisk reveals that he had faked their relationship for his own ends and Teresa suffers memory loss related to the Parker including Peter's secret. None the less, they part on good terms...and then the last scene of the comic shows a college of their parents running a DNA test. Needless to say the his reaction implies that Fisks might have been lying.]]

** Mary Jane's wedding dress was designed by actual an fashion designer Willi Smith who died of AIDS in April 1987, shortly before the newspaper version of the marriage and the publication of the annual a few months later. This was Smith's last project and he enjoyed the entire idea even if he must have been in difficult circumstances doing it. His appearance in the comic and among the guests in the wedding is extra poignant.

** Flash Thompson and Harry Osborn cheering Peter up from his worries about getting married. The fact that Flash, Peter's ex-bully turned friend, who dated MJ in the past, and who went through a bad marriage and divorce ultimately telling him TrueLoveIsExceptional and that marriage is awesome is extra special, and is one of Flash's best character moments overall:
--> '''Flash Thompson''': "I think about being married all the time. My foul-ups have only made that kind of happiness even more desirable, more precious! And if you've got a chance for that buddy, you'd darned well better go for it!"
** The Wedding vows which succinctly summarizes both how the two of them feel about each other, and why their relationship is so poignant:
--> '''Mary Jane''': "I will take this man--this very special man--to be the most important thing in my life. Because that's exactly what I've realized, he already ''is''."\\
'''Peter Parker''': "[[ILetGwenStacyDie She knows]] [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies better]] [[TheConfidant than anyone else]] what [[KeepTheHomeFiresBurning she's getting into]]--[[TrueLoveIsExceptional and she still wants me]]!

* The four issue storyline Death of Jean DeWolfe is very bittersweet since it shows Peter being especially vicious while Matt Murdock was softer but more impotent as they tried to track down the Sin Eater. It at least ends with Daredevil revealing he knows who Spider-Man is and it ends with the two closer than ever while Murdock promises to help find someone to provide legal counsel for one of Aunt May's tenants who panicked and shot a mugger.

* Peter Parker and Mary-Jane Watson have flat-out one of the all-time greatest love stories and romances in comics and YA fiction in general. So there are many heartwarming moments between the couple:
** The fact that Aunt May, contrary to her nephew's expectations, chose someone so warm, vivacious, and strong as Peter's ideal girl and tried to ship them is this since it showed that she saw something deep in MJ that Peter didn't, and likewise that she was open-minded enough that a girl with a somewhat loose reputation (at least as per the norms of TheSixties) was great because as she put it, "she has a wonderful personality".
** The first one is when MJ stays with Peter after Gwen Stacy's death. A model of visual communication and characterization as the character readers saw as a simple party girl shows amazing maturity, compassion, and strength to be there with Peter at his lowest point even when he dislikes her. You can also see it as a moment that shows just how much she loves this guy.
** Their first kiss when Peter has to go out of town and MJ drops him at the airport but not before he plants an epic BigDamnKiss on her leaving MJ dazed and giddy ("Far out").
** The issue after MJ reveals she knows Peter is Spider-Man and then confesses her backstory with Peter as they walk around the park. Neither of them are in a relationship at that point nor do they hook up afterwards but it's clear that their bond grows stronger and more mature, and that MJ has become Peter's closest friend (which she was at that time).
** ''Kraven's Last Hunt'' is often seen as one of Spider-Man's darkest stories but the bright spot is some of the strongest writing about their relationship. In a meta-example, the author J. M. [=DeMatteis=] while initially planning the story before the decision to marry them had been taken by the editors, immediately welcomed the choice and made it an essential part of a classic story, ensuring that their marriage will always be part of Spider-Man's history.
** "Doomed Affairs"[[note]]''Amazing Spider-Man'' Issue #50, Vol. 2[[/note]] despite the foreboding title is entirely about Peter and MJ recommitting to their relationship after their separation all in the middle of a superhero battle, at the end of which MJ finally meets Captain America.
** "To Have and to Hold" by Creator/MattFraction is considered even by detractors of the marriage, an all-time great Spider-Man story, a celebration of Peter and MJ's romance, and an all-time great love story as Peter and MJ commit and affirm their love in a very dark moment ending with a romantic image of the two of them atop Empire State Building.

** Pretty much confirmed in subsequent issues that Peter and MJ are together again, and this time MJ is in it for the long haul. In #5, when Spider-Man was separated into two people, one with all his powers and the other with the responsibility, MJ assured Peter that his being Spider-Man is part of why she loves him.

* Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #38: For such a quiet issue, it's a roller coaster of emotions. To wit: Aunt May has finally figured out that Peter Parker is Spider-Man and dropped by his apartment to have a serious talk with him about it. She is still noticeably rattled with the revelation, but she keeps herself strong as she manages to make Peter come clean about his double life. There's a TearJerker moment when Peter tells her that it's because of him that Uncle Ben died, and then May takes the blame for herself because Ben had only gone out to have his fateful meeting with the burglar because they had an argument and he wanted to go for a walk to let things cool off. There's a SugarWiki/FunnyMoment when May says that she figured Peter was hiding something, but the way he hid it made her think he was gay. And the end result falls under here because Peter is finally able to purge his ghosts with someone he can trust, and while not liking the idea of her surrogate son going out to put his life on the line every night, May still tries to take it as well as she can, for the love she has for her nephew.
