Spider-Man Marvel Comics Library: Vol. 1
Superheroes were nothing new in 1962 when Stan Lee first pitched Spider-Man to his boss, who argued against the idea, citing spiders, a teenage lead, and his loner persona as strikes against it. Finally allowing him to appear in the already-cancelled Amazing Fantasy, Spidey immediately shot to the top of the best-seller list. Six decades, multiple films, and countless issues later, the character is among the most recognizable in pop culture. Spider-Man Marvel Comics Library: Vol. 1 celebrates the neighborhood web-slinger with a reprinting of his first 21 stories, originally published between 1962 and 1964 and featuring iconic villains such as the Green Goblin, Mysterio, and Doctor Octopus. More than a simple reprint, each page was photographed as it looked decades ago, then digitally remastered and printed on three different paper stocks developed specifically to simulate the feel of the originals.
