Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus 1 (1-38, Annual 1-2, Amazing Fantasy 15, Strange Tales Annual 2, Fantastic Four Annual 1; w Stan Lee; a Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby). [From Marvel Comics: 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!] |

after his beloved Uncle Ben was murdered, the grief-stricken youth soon
realized that with great power must also come great responsibility. Now,
Peter wages a one man, web-slinging crusade against all evildoers in the
costumed identity of... the Amazing Spider-Man!] Gormuu's
