Description
Stunningly photographed by award-winner Geoff Spear, Amazing Fantasy no. 15 and Amazing Spider-Man no. 1 are showcased as you've never seen them before-oversize and up close-in this gorgeous celebration of the web-slinger.
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.
This handsome book is perfect for both lifelong fans and the latest generation of Marvel enthusiasts. It's 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.
The book also includes text by Chip Kidd, Marvel editor Tom Brevoort, historian Peter Sanderson, and Library of Congress curator Sara Duke.
