Marvel Comics Library. Spider-Man. Vol. 1. 1962-1964

Travel back in time to witness the creation of the world's favorite web-slinger as conceived by comics legends Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, who redefined what it meant to be a hero. In the coffee-table book 'Marvel Comics Library. Spider-Man. Vol. 1. 1962-1964', a Hulk-sized collector's dream, the first 21 Spider-Man stories from 1962-1964 are meticulously photographed from the most pristine copies of these rare comic books.

When Stan Lee first suggested the idea of Spider-Man in 1962, his boss was full of objections: People hate spiders. Teenagers are not main characters, they are sidekicks. He should be glamorous and successful, not a friendless loser. But Stan persisted, and Martin Goodman let him try out the unlikely hero in Amazing Fantasy, which was already on the verge of being canceled. With Spider-Man on the cover, No. 15 shot to the top of Marvel's bestseller list that year, and the rest is history.

This XXL-sized collector's dream, which closely approximates the original illustrations, contains the first 21 stories of the world's favorite web slinger from 1962-1964. Rather than re-coloring the original artwork (as has been done in reprints of classic comics over the past few decades), TASCHEN has tried to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication.
