In 1962, in the pages of a
comic book slated for cancellation, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko gave birth to one
of the most-enduring icons in American popular media: the one and only Amazing
Spider-Man! Turning the concept of a super hero on its head, they imbued the
young, guilt-ridden Peter Parker with the fantastic powers of an arachnid and
the fantastic pressures of an everyday teenager. The combination was pure
magic.
During the course of 40 issues of web-slinging, wisecracking wonderment Lee and
Ditko built the foundation for 45 years of Spidey spectaculars — girl trouble;
bill trouble; bully trouble; the Daily Bugle; and a cast friends, family and,
of course, super-villains unlike any other!
Completing the entire Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-Man run in one massive volume
—including every page, every pinup and every letters column. Not to mention
unused covers, critical essays and bonuses galore!
We went back to the Mighty Marvel Archive to restore each and every page in
this volume for painstaking accuracy to the originals. There’s no kidding —
this collector’s edition is the guaranteed be-all, end-all book for the
Spider-Man fan!
Collecting together Amazing Fantasy #15, Amazing Spider-Man #1 - 38 and Annual #1 - 2, Strange Tales Annual #2, and Fantastic
Four Annual #1. Written by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko; pencilled by Steve
Ditko with Jack Kirby and featuring cover artwork by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko
