  1. I feel the point was that Marvel wanted there to be a Spider-Man comic for younger readers so that they could experience the feelings we got when we were kids discovering comics for ourselves (the TV Disney Spider-Man comics weren’t doing that job, focussing more on adapting the TV stories correctly). Whether this was a good marketing idea is open to debate, but many fans think that contemporary comics are failing to grab kids and turn them into long-term fans. Possibly Marvel hoped that the nostalgia buffs might accept the series. I dunno…
