Marvel Masterworks Presents The Amazing Spider Man Collecting The Amazing Spider Man Nos 62 67 Annual No 5 The Spectacular Spider Man Nos 1 2

Collects Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #32-42, Annual (1979) #1; Amazing Spider-Man Annual (1964) #13; Fantastic Four (1961) #218. Peter Parker and Dr. Curt Connors (a.k.a. the Lizard) have always shared a unique bond. Both men of science, but one gifted with powers while the other was cursed. Only together can these sometimes allies, sometimes adversaries survive the unstoppable Iguana. Then, in a two-part Annual extravaganza, comes Doc Ock! All the while, Peter’s increasingly on edge. The bizarre horror of the Swarm and a battle with Morbius the Living Vampire do little to help. Then, the emergence of the Schizoid Man pushes him over the line. And on the other side is the Spider-Lizard! Can our mutated hero surivive? He’d better, or he won’t be able to team up with the FF against the Frightful Four!

Collects Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #156-168, Annual (1964) #10. Peter Parker's past comes back to haunt him! Doc Ock has returned, and he's brought the ghost of Hammerhead with him! And those two aren't the only ones back from the grave: the Kingpin is out to resurrect his son - and he can only do it if Spider-Man dies! The danger doesn't stop there, either, as the Punisher sets his sights on Spider-Man in an adventure guest-starring the X-Men's Nightcrawler; dinosaurs rampage down Broadway in the war of the reptile-men; one of Spidey's oldest foes hijacks the Spider-Mobile; and J. Jonah Jameson secures proof of Spidey's secret identity in the return of the Spider-Slayer!

Collects Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #238-251, Annual (1964) #17; Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #85; The Official Marvel Try-Out Book (1983). Roger Stern and John Romita Jr. earned their stripes as two of Marvel's most legendary creators with their run on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, and they kick off this volume with the introduction of the Hobgoblin! Who is he, and how did he quickly become one of Spidey's most threatening villains? Then, you can't keep a bad Vulture down as the master criminal returns in a classic two-parter! Also featuring confrontations with the Mad Thinker, Thunderball and Spidey's most famous rogue: J. Jonah Jameson! Peter Parker's romantic life gets messy when both Mary Jane and the Black Cat enter the picture! And topping it all off, one of the most beloved Spidey stories of all time, "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man!"

Collects Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #1-15. In 1976, Spidey notched his second solo series under the direction of Gerry Conway and Sal Buscema. With his first live-action series on the horizon, the world wanted to know just who this Peter Parker guy was. Spectacular not only expanded opportunities for web-slinging wonder, but it also provided a platform to expand upon and explore the world of Spidey's incomparable cast - J. Jonah Jameson, Mary Jane Watson, Flash Thompson and more! Of course, there was no shortage of villains - including the Vulture and Morbius - or iconic guest stars, ranging from the White Tiger to the Inhumans!
