The Amazing Spider-Man

The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection Edition of "The Amazing Spider-Man" gathers twelve key stories from the first two years of Spider-Man's publication history (1962 to 1964).

These stories, originally published in Amazing Fantasy and The Amazing Spider-Man, are considered influential adventures that transformed the superhero fantasy.

Spider-Man's early tales, written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, not only turned the superhero into an allegory for the challenges of adolescence but also introduced a new ethical complexity to the genre by emphasizing the responsibility that comes with great power.

The anthology showcases the foundational stories that helped shape Spider-Man's enduring significance in the world of comics.

The Deluxe Hardcover edition adds special features such as gold foil stamping, gold top stain edges, special endpapers with artwork, and full-color art throughout.

The foreword by Jason Reynolds and scholarly introductions provide additional insights into the cultural impact of The Amazing Spider-Man.
