Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus, Volume 1
Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus, Volume 1 | Stan Lee
3 posts | 2 read
In 1962, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko gave birth to one of the most enduring icons in American popular media: the one and only Amazing Spider-Man! Turning the concept of a super hero on its head, they imbued the young, guilt-ridden Peter Parker with the fantastic powers of an arachnid and the fantastic pressures of an everyday teenager. The combination was pure magic, and during the course of 40 issues of webslinging, wisecracking wonderment Lee and Ditko built the foundation for 45 years of Spidey spectaculars. COLLECTING: AMAZING FANTASY 15, AMAZING SPIDERMAN (1963) 1-38, ANNUAL (1964) 1-2, STRANGE TALES ANNUAL 2, FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL (1963) 1

This book is a bible. It‘s the O.G. The first brick in the foundation of all Superhero comics that exist today. The 1st 38 issues of Spider-Man. This weighs nearly 3 kilos. My forearms are like Popeyes after reading it. Steve Ditko‘s art is sublime. It‘s a shame deadlines made it sometimes look rushed. But when he put the effort in, he drew the quintessential Spidey. I met Stan Lee once. I said “I love you Stan”. He said “Thanks” ‘‘Nuff said

RamsFan1963 Ditko is criminally underrated. His work on Spider-Man & Doctor Strange was as important to Marvel's foundation as Kirby's art on the Fantastic Four 2mo

The_Book_Ninja @RamsFan1963 Agreed. Kirby is my fave but he could never have done Spidey like Ditko 2mo

When I read this issue of The Amazing Spider-Man as a small kid I didn't know just how revolutionary Dikto's work in these years was, but today it is mind blowing to go back to these issues. To get so much out of a character trying to free himself is quite an accomplishment. It still pains me to read these classics digitally, but alas I can afford to purchase the real deal.
