NOTE: Spider-Man's black costume first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #252, Marvel Team-Up #141, and Spectacular Spider-Man #90 which were all published in May 1984, seven months before the release of Secret Wars #8 in December. However, in Marvel's continuity, the events in Secret Wars #8 take place prior to those issues.
