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

Product Information

With several artist co-creators, most notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he co-created Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Thor as a superhero, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Daredevil, the Silver Surfer, Dr. Betty’s past catches up with her, and I like her leaving to deal with it all on her own, but the last panel is not great. It's honestly impressive that the background and villains Stan Lee and Steve Ditko established in the first handful of issues are still referred to this day as the definitive lore of Spiderman. Much like the Crime Master two-parter, it does a good job of using all the elements of Spider-Man’s life to drive the tension. The highlight is their fight, a staple of superhero misunderstandings, though there is some silliness with the Torch’s hotheadedness (heh) the silly flame images (a power that doesn’t last), and the contrived ice web.

The combination was pure magic during the course of 40 issues of web-slinging, wisecracking wonderment Lee and Ditko built the foundation for 45 years of Spidey spectaculars - girl trouble; bill trouble; bully trouble; the Daily Bugle; and a cast friends, family and, of course, supervillains unlike any other! In fact it is really hard to compare the two since Romita's art is much different though very beautiful in its own right.

Witness the origins of Doctor Octopus, the Sandman, the Lizard, Electro and more of Spider-Man's original rogues gallery - most of whom remain in the spotlight forty years later! I love Romita's work (of course, of course), but Ditko still drew the Spider-Man I think of when I think of Spider-Man.

And while Spidey himself hits the page running, many of the villains won't become as menacing until later on (particularly the Green Goblin, who initially appears flying on a mechanized broomstick). I will merely say that,as a product, it is a superbly made item and would be a very presentable gift for any Spider-Man or Marvel comics fan. The exploits of Peter Parker were often more interesting than those of Spider-Man, but that's not for lack of quality in either area. Spider-Man is one of my greatest passions yet it's taken me this long to finally get around to reading the early stories.The Human Torch was at the height of his popularity here in his cash-grab spin-off in Strange Tales. It’s the story that cemented the Green Goblin as the definition of evil – and lest you think that’s the only milestone in these pages, this Omnibus also features the debut of the Punisher, the wedding of Aunt May and Doc Ock, Harry Osborn’s descent into madness, and a new role for Mary Jane Watson!

You need this book, in other words, if you really want to have a kid to grasp the complexities and nuances of one of the greatest superhero archetypes we still have today. Muy buen libro que cuenta las primeras historias de Spider-Man, la verdad es que vale la pena cada centavo que se pagó por el. For all Lee’s skill in matching superheroic action with the day to day soap opera of Peter Parker and his friends, during his final months on the title it’s obvious his attention was elsewhere. Obligatory issue 5 Doctor Doom cameo was a thing then, and Ditko’s Doom looks weird, but the fight is fun, if inconsequential. It's still silver age and while you can't feel it throughout the most of the run, sometimes it just is there and makes the run otherwise so masterfully crafted look a bit silly.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. The Looter continues the generic Science Fiction villain theme while Gwen re-enacts the early Peter Parker coward comments!

Finally - this is where the majority of Spider-Man's rogue's gallery (arguably the overall best in superhero comics) was introduced: Doc Ock, Green Goblin, the Vulture, Kraven the Hunter, Sandman, the Lizard, Elektro - the list goes on. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Steve Ditko's art never infringed on either precept, which is something I cannot say for newer comics.Whilst certainly bunky and liable to take up a lot of your bookshelf, the Marvel Omnibuses like this one feature fun, if perhaps slightly dated, tales of Spider-Man's early days. Je zvláštní porovnávat Ditkovu kresbu na začátku a na konci a stejně tak i progres v Parkerově osobním životě, přihlédneme li, že se dost mluví o tom, jak Lee všechny kreslíře tlačil k tomu, aby kreslili víc jako Kirby a speciálně po Ditkovi požadoval, aby trochu polidštil všechny ty nepříjemné lidi v Parkerově okolí, a tak k zásadním změnám začalo docházet dlouho před Ditkovým odchodem. I never thought I'd get so caught up in these classic comics, but I can't get over how fun this was.
