Amazing Spider-Man #183

« ..and Where the Big Wheel Stops, Nobody Knows! »: Contemplating his pending graduation and possible marriage, Spider-Man nearly gets caught in costume at school. Jackson Weele gets his own equipment from the Tinkerer. At the hospital, Peter’s spider-sense is triggered by the Racer visiting his mother in Aunt May’s room, and Spidey’s entrance gives May another panic attack. The Racer knocks Spidey out with micro-rockets, then flees from Weele in his Tinkerer-built Big Wheel. Spidey captures the Racer, while the Big Wheel, unable to stop in time, falls into the river and sinks. May is moved to the Critical Ward, Mary Jane declines Peter’s marriage proposal, and he returns home to find someone waiting. Key issue: Mary Jane Watson declines Peter Parker’s marriage proposal; first appearance and death of the Big Wheel.
