This book is the foundation of Spider man. It begins with the very first Spiderman story form 1962. Superman and DC it ain't our man suffers form a lot of personal problems perscripted para previous posters. A sad and revelaing tale of a geek who unexpectedly obtains super powers which goes to his head until his irresponsibility causes his Uncle's murder ("With power comes responsibility.") We also get into the reasons for the bully Flash Thompson and hsi boss J. Jonah Jamerson's hatred of our webbed hero. it may seem like a delight for armchair analysis, but this really makes for good reading and was an early example of the transformaton of comic books from kid's stuff to graphic novels.

Spiderman's first ten comics plus Amazing Fantasy #15 are collected here, and this is no letdown. The Green Goblin isn't around yet, but Dr. Octopus, the Sandman, and the Vulture are!! Spiderman is the symbol for teenagers going thru tough times. He has to take care of Aunt May, protect the city, uphold a job...and he hasn't even gone to college. If you are a Spidey comic fan, you simply MUST get this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
