Disclose Notes: This story is a retelling of "The Sea Waits for Me!", drawn by Dick Ayers, from Journey Into Unknown Worlds (Marvel, 1951 series) #43 (March 1956).

Ditko evidentially used Aunt May and Uncle Ben here, as reference for Spider-Man's folks when they appeared two months later. They are nearly identical, only slightly younger.
