Collects Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #18-38, Annual (1964) #2.

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created an unabashed cultural phenomenon in the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Their pitch-perfect blend of Peter Parker's everyday woes and Spider-Man's never-say-die adventures was something undeniably special. And after years of perfecting that formula, they unleashed the definitive Spider-Man masterpiece: the Master Planner saga! Putting Spider-Man through the most wrenching experience of his career, Lee and Ditko defined the spirit of a hero that has inspired millions. This Epic Collection has that complete story and so much more in store: the first appearance of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's high-school graduation and landmark battles with the Green Goblin — plus a spellbinding team-up with that other famous Lee/Ditko creation, Doctor Strange

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Writer/editor Stan Lee (1922-2018) made comic-book history together with Jack Kirby in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental popularity of its new style inspired Lee to develop similarly themed characters — including the Hulk and X-Men with Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with Bill Everett. After shepherding his creations through dozens of issues — in some cases a hundred or more — Lee allowed other writers to take over, but he maintained steady editorial control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into a multimedia empire. In recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in Marvel’s films established Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.

Steve Ditko (1927 - 2018) began his comics career in the anthologies of the 1950s, where his unique style and perspective quickly earned recognition and respect. Recruited to join Stan Lee’s Atlas Comics, later Marvel, in 1958, his nuances contrasted well with Jack Kirby’s bombast. In 1962, in the pages of Amazing Fantasy, Ditko and Lee brought to life Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, changing the industry forever. Leaving Marvel in 1966, he drew Blue Beetle and Captain Atom for Charlton, Creeper and Shade the Changing Man for DC, and his independent effort Mr. A. Ditko returned to Marvel during the late 1970s and remained for much of the 1980s, co-creating Speedball, Squirrel Girl and other characters who would prove of unexpected importance in Marvel’s later years.

Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. Nevertheless: Having begun his career with wartime Timely Comics and staying the course throughout the Atlas era, Stan the Man made comic-book history with Fantastic Four #1, harbinger of a bold new perspective in story writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry’s greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men and more — forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After an almost literal lifetime of writing and editing, Lee entered new entertainment fields and earned Marvel one opportunity after another. He remains one of Marvel’s best-known public representatives.

-----------------

Stanley Martin Lieber (Manhattan, Nueva York; 28 de diciembre de 1922 - Los Ángeles, California; 12 de noviembre de 2018), más conocido como Stan Lee, fue un escritor y editor de cómics estadounidense, además de productor y ocasional actor de cine. Es principalmente conocido por haber creado personajes icónicos del mundo del cómic tales como Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, los 4 Fantásticos, Thor, los Vengadores, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, X-Men y Bruja escarlata, entre otros muchos superhéroes, casi siempre acompañado de los dibujantes Steve Ditko y Jack Kirby. El trabajo de Stan Lee fue fundamental para expandir Marvel Comics, llevándola de ser una pequeña casa publicitaria a una gran corporación multimedia. Todavía hoy, los cómics de Marvel se distinguen por indicar siempre «Stan Lee presenta» en los rótulos de presentación. También tuvo un programa televisivo en History Channel en donde buscaba superhumanos "reales".

Waited 2 months
Waited like 2 months for a reprint pre order only for it to show up with the pages all waved as if it had gotten wet and the cover page isn’t cut correctly. Not to mention dents in the spine from shipping.I’m getting another reshipped that hopefully looks better because other than this the print is perfect. Just so upset with the damage to the book :(

This book is must-read for any fan of Spider-Man, and for comics history knowledge in general. These stories are what being a true super-hero is all about. I can't recommend it highly enough. I have purchased several books from the vendor - Amazing Comics - and they consistently deliver on time or ahead of schedule. Items are always well packaged and protected, I have not had any issues with them and I appreciate their consistently awesome service.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Second Volume of Spider-Man's Beginnings, only Stan Lee's Best!
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018
Verified Purchase
Amazing read here! The stories connect rather well, and have depth I did not expect. I got this along with Great Powers to see the beginnings of Spider-Man, and it is certainly a very well-written story about the teenager with great powers who needs no introduction, but is rather amazing to see how the web-slinger became such a massive pop-cultural phenomenon! The artwork is absolutely fantastic for its time, it really drew me into reading this, I highly recommend Great Powers, which is the first volume of this collection, and then this classic here! Well, don't just stand there, get these!

Beautiful, the best way to collect Spider-Man comics. I think. From the beginning of the best superhero in history. Gorgeous comics, great story. Perfect for preteens and above.

Includes magazine issues 18-38 and the second annual. It's the second volume in the Epic Collection - note that Amazon has only 8 of the 22 books in the series: https://www.amazon.com/gp/bookseries/B00YV9D8QO/ref=dp_st_0785196919.

Others are scattered around Amazon, such as this volume, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/130291023X/ref=crt_ewc_title_oth_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2XAZ8JI5FY49I which is the next in the series.

Então... o que falar de uma obra-prima? posso dizer que os dois primeiros volumes do Aranha em epic collection trazem tudo que é necessário e indispensável saber do aracnídeo. Todos os personagens excelentes do casting foram construídos nesses 38 episódios, divididos em duas edições, em um trabalho inesquecível de Stan Lee e Steve Ditko. Ver as primeiras aparições e versões originais de TODOS os grandes vilões do Aranha é algo perfeito. Era um outro tempo, um outro mundo, e Stan estava inaugurando uma era de maravilhas.O Homem Aranha é sem dúvida sua principal criação,em todos os sentidos, e a arte de Ditko é excepcional. TUDO que você viu, leu e conhece do Aranha até hoje deriva destas primeiras aventuras.

In many ways I wish I had bought the Omnibus editions but I didn't. The good thing about these volumes is that they include a great selection of bonus material as well as the classic Ditko-Lee stories. At least this volume can be read anywhere, the omnibus editions are a lot heavier but the artwork is on a slightly bigger scale.
