This collection of the original 22 magazine appearances of Spider-Man* is awesome. I'm not an experienced Spider-Man fan; I mostly know him from the recent Tobey Maguire films (good, better, bad). Spider-Man is a great character: trying to do the right thing and beat criminals while struggling to make financial ends meet (at one point he tries to convince a sports card manufacturer to make Spider-Man trading cards - to no avail), trying not to lose his temper with kids at school (remember he's ...

If you are interested in the origins of Spider-Man, his friends, Aunt May, and several of his oldest foes then this is a great book. Obviously some might be turned away by the lack of color, but the content of the book makes up for that to me. If you like stories that can be completed in one issue instead of the normal six issues these days, or you just like a good Lee/Kirby story. This is the book for you!

Even oh so many decades later these stories are still astounding for the complexity of character they have. Sure, some of the portrayal of the teenagers will seem naive now due to cultural changes over the years but the depth of story-telling is really superb.
We see the creation of Spiderman of course, as well as many of his premier rogues gallery, though to be fair we also see some pretty weak villains as well. Montana and Fancy Dan anyone?

This is an awsome collection of some of the early spiderman. It is the wed slinger in amazing action comics including his run in with the sinister 6 and the creation of SPIDER-MAN.

as mentioned by a previous reviewer our cover started coming off as we opened the book. Very poor construction. As my son was excited to read the comics inside I did not send the book back. The comics are awesome. We have essentials #2 on its way (we tried to cancel deciding that Omnibus was the way to go. But it had already shipped). Great stories but terrible binding. Price is great for the content. Just don't expect these to be saved as collector items. That they are not.
