Celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Amazing Spider-Man with this very special Artists Edition!
Spider-Man is one the most popular characters in the history of comics. This Artists Edition collects high-resolution scans of the very earliest Amazing Spider-Man daily strips by the two creators most associated with the Web-Slinger, Stan The Man Lee and Jaunty John Romita!
Approximately 300 (!) original daily strips have been scanned, all from 1977 and 1978. The strip debuted on January 3, 1977, and the entire first two months of the strip are included in this volume. Spider-Mans origin is recapped and its a Whos Who of all your favorite Spidey characters.
An Artists Edition is a book that reproduces classic comic book art from the actual hand-drawn originals. Each page is meticulously scanned at high resolution and reproduced at the same size they were drawn. And while each page appears to be in black and white, these pages have been scanned in color to enable the reader to truly see them as created by John Romita. All the subtle nuances that make original art unique are clearly visible in these pages: gradients in the line art, blue pencils under the inks, corrections. The only better way to view this art would have been to be standing over John Romitas drawing board as he was creating them!
Image and Condition Note - We typically have multiple copies of the titles we sell.

The majority of our books are unsold returns from retailers to distributors and have never been purchased by an end consumer. We don't buy books from thrift stores or library sales to resell. All of our books are stored in commercial warehousing in a smoke and pet-free environment.
