Summary: With Great Stories Must Come...Great Hardcovers
Comment: "With great power must also come...great responsibility."-Stan Lee.
With those words, Stan Lee closed the chapter on the first story of the Amazing Spider-Man.
Spider-Man was unlike any super-hero before him. He didn't just pretend to be the wallflower like some other boy scout I could name. He was the social outcast, ostracized by his peers, rejected and alone. He was a teenager. Back then, teens were usually the sidekicks. As Peter Parker, he was the epitome of uncool.
And Spider-Man didn't become a hero out of some notion of civic duty, or revenge for a past sorrow. Instead, he was driven by guilt. The guilt of knowing that had he simply stuck out his foot and tripped a passing burglar, his Uncle Ben wouldn't be dead.
That story, and the first ten issues of Amazing Spider-Man, featuring the wall crawler in battle against deadly foes like Doctor Octopus, Doctor Doom, the Sandman, Electro, and The Chameleon, as well as guest appearances by the Fantastic Four.
The oldest and most classic stories preserved for all time here in a hardcover bookshelf edition that you can be proud to show off to anyone. THIS is what comic books are all about.

Summary: The Early Days Of Our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
Comment: My first real taste of the works of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko came in the 80's, when Marvel Comics began reprinting the early exploits of Spider-Man, in a series called Marvel Tales. I had already been reading the "modern" Spidey comics of the day for some time, therefore, I was familiar with the character and some of the history. But to read the stories that started it all, that was a highlight of my monthly reads. For a variety of reasons, I have long since stopped reading and collecting individual titles, and have sold my entire comic book collection. I still like to dabble in the occasional graphic novel or special reprint collected editions featuring my favorite characters from either the Marvel or DC Universes. Spider-Man remains one of my favorites ever created for Marvel Comics
After seeing the first Spider-Man feature film in 2002, I have been trying to track down a book like this. I am pleased that Marvel and DC have both published collections of this type. Marvel Masterworks: Spider-Man Volume 1 reprints the wallcrawlers first appearance in the final issue of Amazing Fantasy #15 and the first 10 issues of his own series, The Amazing Spider-Man
These stories are just straight forward tales of good versus evil. Some of them were really good, like spidey's initial encounters with Dr. Octopus, the Vulture, and Electro. While his match-ups with Dr. Doom, the Lizard, the Tinkerer, and the threat of the living brain were less so...but still fun in some respects if hokey. The art by Steve Ditko (and the legendary Jack Kirby for issue #8) really is quite remarkable in its simple style effective renderings Thanks to the book's glossy pages and the reconstruction it stands out even more now then it did in Marvel Tales. Volume 1 will be a fun trip down memory lane for those familiar with the web man's early adventures from '62-64. It will also serve as a fun and fantastic introduction for those just discovering him for the first time. The book also features an introduction from Stan Lee, written in 1987, the covers from each issue, and rare alternates by Ditko. The book has 248 pages.
One of the things that Lee/Ditko did with Spidey was to make him an average guy with problems, who, just happened to have amazing powers. In the end that made Spidey someone with whom readers could identify and relate. With this book, readers can do it all over again

Summary: Just like the title, AMAZING
Comment: Finally, if you'd like to have the very first 11 issues of amazing Spider-Man youhave to look no further of pay thousands of dollars for orignal 60's comics, this collection presents the first issues of Spider-man. Get to know his origins, the first villians he fought and his life a super hero. Printed in high quality gloss paper, in full, glorius colour, the pencil here may not be what newest readers are used to. These are simple, straight forward drawings that are now cult classics. The text by the master himself, Stan Lee, are interesting, yet funny and direct enough. I read it really fast, I only wish they would release the next issues. This book is for readers who maybe owned the original comics back in the 60's or 70's and want to relive those moments. Great also for fans of Spidey who want to witness his origins. Definetely a must.
