Amazing Fantasy #16 was supposed to have filled in the "gap" between Amazing Fantasy #15 and Amazing Spider-Man #1...Printed over 33 years after #15, it was a well written story and series by Kurt Busiek who also wrote the Untold Tales Of Spider-Man series that lasted a little over 2 years...The story started with Peter re-capping his very short career at this time including his origin and then a visit to his Uncle Ben's grave with his Aunt May...A crooked furniture salesman trying to make a deal with May excused that Ben ordered some furniture as a surprise to her...Later as Spider-Man, Peter views the same salesman trying out the same scam on another potential victim...Spider-Man then follows the man to a warehouse where he finds a group of men targeting widows and widowers for financial gain...The group is led by a man named the Undertaker whom Spider-Man confronts...The group of men are soon called upon, armed at this point, and the very first use of his Spider-Sense aids Spider-Man in dodging the gunfire...Confused as to what just happens, Spider-Man begins to attack the group of men with his newly found Spider-Sense...The men are caught and tied up in a neat little package for the police...On his way home, Spider-Man helps out a couple in his first breakup of a hold-up or mugging...The story ends with Aunt May viewing the news of the events on television as a mysterious woman telekinetically moves a tractor upon the top of an construction site seemingly amused at her newly realized powers setting the stage for next issue.

Note: This three issue limited series is not to be confused with the Amazing Fantasy series that began in 2004.
