According to the artist who drew most of these issues, Jose Luis Duran, the Mexican publisher convinced Marvel to let them create their own Spider-Man comics by arguing that these were simply Peter Parker's dreams. After all, when a loved one dies it's normal to be haunted by dreams where they're still alive and have a much nicer butt. One issue even teased fans with the possibility of Peter marrying Gwen, though that turned out to be a dream sequence ... within the dream sequence (Gwen-ception?). It is also our duty to report that Aunt May is a total AILF in that issue.
Marvel ComicsWe're starting to get the impression this guy could only draw one female body type.
This parallel timeline went on for 44 issues, with some U.S. stories thrown in between, and that was the last the world saw of Spider-Mex and the Bootylicious Spider-Gwen. At least until Into The Spider-Verse 2 comes out and takes place entirely in Earth-Mexico.
