PETER PARKER

You know me as Spider-Man. For most of my life I couldn't tell anybody who I really was. So I'm telling you all of it now, from the spider bite in 1962 on. Bad knees, good memory. Might as well use it.

Peter Parker, old now, half his face still in the torn Spider-Man mask

Before we start

I have been asked to write about this for a long time. For most of that time, the answer was no. The reasons were practical.

You cannot write your life story when the most important fact about your life is a secret, and when telling it could get the people you love killed.

That's no longer the case.

LETTERS FROM PETER

I'll write you when there's a new episode. Once a week, no more. I can barely work this phone as it is.
