Scarlet Spider is a comic book series starring the Scarlet Spider published by Marvel Comics for 2 issues from November, 1995 - December, 1995.
The book was a direct continuation, in terms of creative teams and storylines, of the Spider-Man series which the title replaced for two months between #63 and 64.
It was one of four briefly published books which featured the character. The others were The Amazing Scarlet Spider, The Spectacular Scarlet Spider, and Web of Scarlet Spider.
The series began when Peter Parker gave up being Spider-Man to retire with his pregnant wife, and the Scarlet Spider took on his duties. The title returned to its old name and numbering when Ben Reilly took on the Spider-Man name.
The writer of the two issues was Howard Mackie and the pencillers were Gil Kane and John Romita Jr.
