This volume collects Amazing Spider-Man issues #69-89 and Annuals #4-5, originally published between February 1969 and October 1970. Stan Lee is the credited writer for all issues and 'Jazzy Johnny' Romita (Sr.) the penciler for most. John Buscema is listed as penciler for #76-81 while Romita got a 'co-writer/art' credit. Many of these issues were also reprinted in issues #52-70 of the mid 1970s Marvel Tales series.
The long first story arc features Kingpin and 'The Secret of the Petrified ... Read More

"The Essential Spider-Man, Volume 4" presents black & white reprints of "The Amazing Spider-Man" #69-89 and Annuals #4-5, which covers the web-head from 1969-71. I was sort of surprised as I read through these issues again that really nothing significant happens. I mean, we have return visits from the Kingpin, the Lizard, the Chameleon, Mysterio and Doctor Octopus, but the new villains are pretty week: Man-Mountain Marko, the Prowler, the Kangaroo, and the Schemer. Make that incredibly weak villains, ... Read More

In these issues of Spider-Man, Spidey is a modern day (or at least late 60s)comic book version of Sisyphus - endlessly pushing a boulder uphill that threatens to crush him. While out battling some of his greatest villians, Kingpin, Doc Ock, the Lizard and Electro, he tries (usually unsuccessfully) to juggle a career, a girlfriend and friendships. His undeserved bad rep usually puts a negative spin on even his most spectacular triumphs - with his g/f, his boss and his Aunt May all decrying his "web-slinging ... Read More

I bought this book along with the previous volumes. In the wondrous Marvel Age of the sixties, there were two true stand-outs. The first was the Fantastic Four (Kirby's best 'nuff said), and the other Spider-man. I would argue that Peter Parker is the greatest of the classic Siver Age Super-Heroes. He was no Jet Pilot, Doctor, or Captain of Industry, just a pretty average kid who, after one tragic mistake, always tried to do the right thing. This volume I would not rate as highly as the others, simply because ... Read More
