Comments: Created by Paul Spraglin.

    Earth-19216's Golden Monkey was the product of Marvel's Spider-Man Magazine's "What If?" section featured in later issues of the series in which the magazine asked a specific "What If..." question to its young readers and they would mail in drawings in response to the question. In the 19th issue of the magazine, readers were asked to draw images of "What If Peter Parker Had Been Bitten by a Radioactive Monkey, Instead of a Spider?" In this particular case, Golden Monkey was created by then-8-year-old Paul Spraglin of Mt. Pleasant, Texas.

    After Spider-Man Magazine I#10, the issues of the magazine were no longer numbered and were only differentiated by the season and year the issue was published (i.e. "Fall, 1996," for example), as the magazine had moved from monthly publication to seasonal. According to the indicias of the Adventures of Spider-Man and Adventures of the X-Men trade paperbacks released a few years ago (which also reprinted some of the exclusive comic strips seen in Spider-Man Magazine), the issue that featured Earth-19216's Golden Monkey would have been #19.
