<P> Early issues of The Amazing Spider - Man featured a running joke about Peter dodging his Aunt May 's attempts to set him up with `` that nice Watson girl next door '' , whom Peter had not yet met and assumed would not be his type , since his aunt liked her ( in the Parallel Lives graphic novel an identical scenario is shown between Mary Jane and her Aunt Anna ) . Mary Jane made her first actual appearance in The Amazing Spider - Man # 25 ( June 1965 ) , although her face was obscured . It is not until The Amazing Spider - Man # 42 ( November 1966 ) that her face is actually seen . In that issue , on the last page , Peter finally meets her , and he is stunned by her beauty even as she speaks the now - famous line : `` Face it , Tiger ... you just hit the jackpot ! '' </P>
