The Amazing Spider-Man: 1 (Penguin Classics Marvel Collection)

Absolutely awesome series of comics, great information. Lovely print and great size

Loving it. Would recommend to any Spider‑Man fan who wants to read his origin and early comic‑book appearances.

So far so good. I’ve only just started reading this. It’s great to have this collection of these old and classic stories. Originally I went for the hardcover of this but the gold printing on the front and back had faded quite badly. I did some research to see if this was just the copy I received. From what I could see this was more common now with later printings. I switched to the paperback version and am really glad I did so as the quality is much better for the front cover. If you’re into the retro vibe then I recommend this book.

Bought for my son, but he haven’t looked at it much.

Great comic. Fast delivery and great packaging.

Suitable for kids and big kids alike. Graphics are truly excellent as you'd expect. Giled pages and well bound. A must have for any Marvel collection. Penguin have done a great job! The price at Amazon was unbeatable! If you're a Marvel/Lee/Ditko fan, just get it, you won't be disappointed.

With the fabulous original editions of 1960s Spiderman and some previously unseen Marvel comics with precursors of Aunt May and Uncle Ben this edition, in hardback, is a real pleasure to read and enjoy. And there is a few nice words by thoughtful fans too. Definitely recommended by this UK based buyer.

If you are a MARVEL fan this is a great opportunity to revisit the earliest adventures of Spider-Man by his co-creators Stan Lee & Steve Ditko. A nostalgic trip back into the 1960s with terrific artwork and tales of bravery and teenage angst. See where it all began for Peter Parker….

This book is very nice, the gold finish makes it look even beautiful and the contents are picked to perfectly display who spider-man is and why he has become so popular. The people packaging and delivering damaged the item however (by presumably cutting something else in the storage room they cut into the spine of this book, and when delivering the corners were damaged). So if you are planning to keep this in perfect shape, this might not be the place to buy it from. Overall, still a pretty good buy but I'd like to request to be a bit more careful with these books!

Penguin Classics’ “The Amazing Spider-Man” collects “Amazing Fantasy” #15, “The Amazing Spider-Man” #1-4, 9-10, 13-14, & 17-19 along with summaries of “Amazing Spider-Man” #5-8, #11-12, #15-16, Annual #1, and material from “Strange Tales” #97, all written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko. These stories detail much of Spidey’s formative first two years, while Ben Saunders’ introduction explains the historical context of the comic book industry at the time as well as the legacy of Lee & Ditko’s work. Jason Reynolds’ foreword describes what Spider-Man – and his teenaged alter ego Peter Parker – meant to Reynolds and his brother as young readers, further helping to contextualize the character. These stories introduce Spider-Man’s friends and family, Aunt May, J. Jonah Jameson, Betty Brant, Liz Allen, and Flash Allen. Spider-Man regularly works with members of the Fantastic Four, developing a friendship with the Human Torch, and even meets the Avengers in these stories. Additionally, classic recurring villains make their first appearances, including the Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, the Lizard, Electro, Big Man & the Enforcers (Montana, Fancy Dan, & Ox), Mysterio, the Green Goblin, Kraven the Hunter, the Sinister Six, and Mac Gargan (who later become the Scorpion & Venom). The story from “Strange Tales” #97 features a couple named Aunt May and Uncle Ben months before “Amazing Fantasy” #15, though these two have little in common with Peter Parker’s family as their story so thoroughly departs from the May & Ben who appeared later. These formative issues underscore the significance of Spider-Man and lay the groundwork for the hundreds and hundreds of stories that followed. As Stan Lee noted in the end of issue 9, summing up Ol’ Web-head’s appeal, Spider-Man is “the superhero who could be – you!” (pg. 162). In addition to the stunning presentation of this volume with its bold red covers with gilt details and page edges, Penguin added bonus material for fans new and old. This volume includes three appendices, suggestions for further reading, and a notes section as befitting the best of Penguin’s historical collections. The overall presentation makes it a truly lovely volume to gift to any fan.
