Spider-Man: Demolition Days is a graphic novel that collects eight stories from the Spider-Man Magazine by Panini Comics. These stories were originally published outside of the United States in a comic strip format within the magazine.
While not in continuity with the show, the stories feature designs and concepts of characters seen in early Season 1 promotional artwork. A notable feature of the graphic novel is the presence of Miguel O' Hara (Spider-Man 2099), who has not appeared in the series itself as well as Green Goblin.

Trivia[]
- These comics takes place in an alternate universe of Marvel's Spider-Man as seen by the character's designs, which are based on the Promotional artwork rather than the show.
- The comics originate from Marvel Panini's Spider-Man Magazine, which is magazine for various Spider-Man media (the main comics, cartoons, and movies) in the United Kingdom.
- The title of the graphic novel comes from the fourth story in it's collection.
- Unlike the show, Spider-Girl and Spider-Gwen have the spider-sense ability.
- The graphic novel doesn't feature every comic from the Spider-Man Magazines. Line art for one comic, Sinister Five Strike can be found online.
- Many of the characters featured in the comic have their designs from early Season One promotional art drawn by artist Patrick Brown.
- Spider-Girl is noticeably seen wearing her white and black costume seen on toy packaging and promotional artwork instead of the black and white costume seen in the show.
- Rhino is the same as his mainstream Marvel Comics counterpart, Doc-Ock is wearing his classic yellow and green suit, and Vulture is wearing a suit based on the one from Spider-Man: Homecoming.
- Hobgoblin and Scorpion have the same designs by Shaun O' Neil.
- Depending on when the original comics were published, they could have been seen as spoilers due to the presence of Eddie Brock and, more importantly, Green Goblin (who has not made an appearance on the show as of now).
- Like in Marvel Adventures/Marvel All-Ages: Spider-Man, Peter still wears glasses after obtaining his spider-powers (except for Worst Moon Rising which uses the shows character designs).
- Worst Moon Rising is the only story to be based on an episode of the show, Halloween Moon. Its differences include Miles being part of the cast, and instead of a party Peter, Miles, Gwen, and Harry are at a meteor shower watch site.
