About this deal

ver los inicios de los comics de spiderman sin un gran efecto de los dibujos como en la época actual pensaria que seria aburrido leerlo, pero me sorprendió gratamente las historias, las peleas, los dramas de Peter Parker, Me encanto como el verdadero peter era un inadaptado social debido a su responsabilidad de ser superheroe y no el cool spiderman que vemos actualmente. I'm a little confused about why they teased Mary Jane for years without showing her face or letting her meet Peter. Were people titillated by that at the time? I was like "Get out of here if you're just gonna play around" but whatever. After the abysmal retread of the Spider-man Magazine, the Hulk storyline is quite good. It’s nice to see Peter doing some journalism in a new setting. I’m not even a huge fan of the Hulk, but he’s good here. The Stan Lee/John Romita era starts here! Lee and Romita transformed the web-slinger into Marvel’s top title with stories that raised your spirits, tore at your heartstrings and kept you on the edge of your seat. From the revelation of the Green Goblin’s secret identity to the unforgettable entrance of Mary Jane Watson, these classics define Spidey to this day — with star-studded debuts including the Kingpin, the Rhino and Captain Stacy; Spidey’s disastrous first tryout with the Avengers; the iconic “Spider-Man No More!” issue; and an epic battle against the Green Goblin!

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus - Volume 1 (New Printing)

The Amazing Spider-Man never got better than this - ASM 1-38, Amazing Fantasy 15, and Annuals 1 & 2. This represents the entire Stan Lee/Steve Ditko run - a watershed of popular culture and arguably the most important development of "heroes in tights" since Superman's debut in 1938's Action Comics #1. Conway e Gil Kane) no momento que mudou a vida do aranha para sempre , envolvendo duende verde e Gwen ( realço o momento final com Mary Jane brilhante)Of course, no character is more of a fan-favorite than Peter Parker – Spider-Man – himself. Reading his earliest comic book exploits was truly an enjoyable experience for me considering that, up until this point, my experiences with the character came from all other forms of media except comic books. These old comics from the 1960s were as new to me as the day they were first printed, giving me a personally unique experience with Spider-Man even in this day and age, one that people who are already familiar with the comics may unfortunately miss out on when perusing this omnibus. One of the best things about this massive collection was how it made me feel like I was meeting Spider-Man for the first time all over again, and it has made me eager to read more! It’s a fun adventure story with a lot of interaction between Jonah and Peter. Lizard stories are all a little samey, and this is the archetype. The lizard is a neat foe, though his motivations are less than clear. It’s good spider fun! Lee gets a lot of credit for his sharp take and themes but Ditko I feel is the real powerhouse, churning out classic costume after costume, visually representing an entire world, all while creeping everyone out with his weird figures and dynamic compositions. He set the tone for everything since and is rarely bettered. Spider-man doesn’t remember when Chameleon summoned him with his spider sense? Stan Lee’s memory was pretty bad. Obligatory issue 5 Doctor Doom cameo was a thing then, and Ditko’s Doom looks weird, but the fight is fun, if inconsequential. Doom’s plan is a little weird, but he’s properly menacing, plus bonus points for the Doombot. It continues Peter’s school stuff, but the main new thing is that Spider-man is on the road to his first love interest.

Okay, I gave the Goblin some crap about his first appearance, but I genuinely think his second is great. Not necessarily for him, but because of the unique structure, ending, and fallout in this issue and beyond. It’s got some good use of the Human Torch as a guest star, and I love the respect building between Spidey and the Torch. Honestly, the only problems I have are the continued poor handling of Liz and Betty. Just a weird, weird turn for the Gibbon and Kraven. Stan Lee’s off again with Gerry Conway coming on for his first of thirty-eight issues, though I think he co-plotted these first ones with John Romita. He was pretty young, and I think it shows. How many days does this take place over? What are Kraven’s powers now? I think the biggest problem is that I don’t know if I care. If you were to compare Steve Ditko's art to most anything you can find in a superhero comic these days, you would find Ditko's simplicity almost naive. I say, "almost," but then upon further consideration you would understand the difference between Ditko's clean, efficient storytelling, dynamic renderings, and extraordinary layouts, and those of the comic artists working (for the most part) in the superhero trenches today. Am I a Vulture fan? I feel like the Vulture as “old man with wings” has overshadowed how crafty and swift he used to be. The battle in the Daily Bugle office really makes this issue with the ending being a particular fave of mine because Betty Brant is awesome. Desperation, struggle, perseverance. This issue is rightly remembered as one of the greats. There are some frustrating Betty Brant panels, but this is the last great Lee-Ditko collaboration.Two in a row for powerhouse superhero introductions! This is the first story to blend everything: issues with the police, the difficulties of crime fighting, J. Jonah Jameson, the Parker money troubles, school problems, and a supervillain. It also does it in a way that’s both fun, Peter faking the Sandman photos, and sad, missing a date with Liz. It’s also got the first appearance of the great Betty Brant! All this and the fun fight against Sandman in some excellent Dikto panels. Ditko and Lee created many of the classic villains, and this collection contains many of them. While the collection tapers off some, the art remains great throughout. The conclusion is strong! It continues playing with reader expectations, and aside from a little narrative convenience, sets up a new Daily Bugle status quo nicely. This omnibus includes the run by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko (who co-created Spider-Man with Stan Lee). The volume includes Spidey's debut in Amazing Fantasy #15, the first 38 issues in the Amazing Spider-Man series as well as the first two Spider-Man annuals. Betty Brant stuff bookends the issue, though it’s not really relevant. I actually like the dream opening. Then, Kraven uses Chameleon tactics, which will have more ramifications in the 80s; otherwise, it’s mostly stuff we’ve seen.
