In 1988, McFarlane joined writer David Michelinie on Marvel’s The Amazing Spider-Man, beginning with issue 298, drawing the preliminary sketch for that cover’s image on the back of one of his Incredible Hulk pages. McFarlane garnered notice for the more dynamic poses in which he depicted Spider-Man’s aerial web-swinging, his enlarging of the eyes on the character’s mask, and greater detail in which he rendered his artwork. In particular was the elaborate detail he gave to Spider-Man’s webbing. Whereas it had essentially been rendered as a series of X’s between two lines, McFarlane embellished it by detailing far more individual strands, which came to be dubbed “spaghetti webbing”. McFarlane drew the first full appearance of Eddie Brock, the original incarnation of the villain Venom. He has been credited as the character’s co-creator, though this has been a topic of dispute within the comic book industry. (See Eddie Brock: Creation and conception.)

McFarlane, unbeknownst to his parents at the time, was making about a million dollars a year. McFarlane wrote and illustrated 15 of the series’ first 16 issues, many issues of which featured other popular Marvel characters such as Wolverine and Ghost Rider in guest roles.
