Production notes

This series is about a woman who gets a blood transfusion that gives her spider-like powers. She uses them to fight crime and protect her city.

The series took many liberties while creating the world for Spider-Woman to live in. The Justice Magazine was created so that Jessica could have a means of keeping an eye on the crime world. Billy Drew and Jeff Hunt were also created as Jessica's supporting cast.

Spider-Woman's powers were also tweaked a bit. She still could stick to walls and shoot 'venom blasts' from her hands, but now she could fly and had Spider-Sense similar to Spider-Man's but she could see a vision of the danger. She was also able to change into her Spider-Woman costume by spinning around, like Wonder Woman from the Lynda Carter series.
