Marvel Team-Up #141 and Amazing Spider-Man #252: the first black costume
Spider-Man's black costume — later the symbiote and Venom — first appeared in regular continuity in two issues with the same May 1984 cover date, released the same week: Amazing Spider-Man #252 and Marvel Team-Up #141. Amazing Spider-Man #252 is the more famous and valuable, but Marvel Team-Up #141 is the same in-continuity debut and trades at a fraction of the price. The costume's origin was told in Secret Wars #8 (December 1984).

What is the first appearance of Morbius?
Morbius, the Living Vampire, first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #101, cover-dated October 1971, by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane; his origin is told in #102. The story is the six-armed Spider-Man arc, and #101 was the first issue of Amazing Spider-Man not written by Stan Lee. Morbius was created as a scientific vampire to get around the Comics Code's ban on the supernatural kind.

What is the first appearance of the Punisher?
The Punisher first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #129, cover-dated February 1974, created by writer Gerry Conway with artists Ross Andru and John Romita Sr., who designed the skull costume. The issue also introduced the Jackal. Hired to kill Spider-Man, the Punisher was intended as a one-off antagonist and became one of Marvel's most popular characters.
