Celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Amazing Spider-Man with this
very special Artist's Edition!
Spider-Man is one the most popular characters in the history of comics.
This Artist's Edition collects high-resolution scans of the very
earliest Amazing Spider-Man daily strips by the two creators most
associated with the Web-Slinger, Stan "The Man" Lee and "Jaunty" John
Romita!
Approximately 300 (!) original daily strips have been scanned, all from
1977 and 1978. The strip debuted on January 3, 1977, and the entire
first two months of the strip are included in this volume. Spider-Man's
origin is recapped and it's a Who's Who of all your favorite Spidey
characters.
An Artist's Edition is a book that reproduces classic comic book art
from the actual hand-drawn originals. Each page is meticulously scanned
at high resolution and reproduced at the same size they were drawn. And
while each page appears to be in black and white, these pages have been
scanned in color to enable the reader to truly see them as created by
John Romita. All the subtle nuances that make original art unique are
clearly visible in these pages: gradients in the line art, blue pencils
under the inks, corrections. The only better way to view this art would
have been to be standing over John Romita's drawing board as he was
creating them!
