Includes the first two Spider-Man stories plus the original art from
the Library of Congress!
Spider-Man first swung onto the comic book pages in August 1962 with the
publication of Amazing Fantasy no. 15, created by Stan Lee and Steve
Ditko and with cover art by Jack Kirby. Sixty years after the comic's
publication, award-winning graphic designer Chip Kidd reimagines the
iconic first story also told in The Amazing Spider-Man no. 1 from
March 1963, using original vintage copies of both comic books to present
these classic tales in a whole new way.
Perfect for both lifelong fans and the latest generation of Marvel
enthusiasts, the book also includes text by Chip Kidd, Marvel editor Tom
Brevoort, historian Mark Evanier (Kirby: King of Comics), and Library
of Congress curator Sara Duke. Stunningly photographed by award-winning
photographer Geoff Spear, Amazing Fantasy no. 15 and Amazing
Spider-Man no. 1 are showcased as you've never seen them
before--oversized and up-close. This is a panel-by-panel exploration of
both entire issues that captures every single detail and nuance of Lee
and Ditko's groundbreaking story, making it a must-have for every comic
book collection.
