Beautiful Bob Larkin Painting Fronts This Essential Spider-Man Collection,

This review is from: The Amazing Spider-Man (Paperback)
First reprinted here is a two-part tale introducing Jonah Jameson's son as a super-hero and, more importantly, Mary Jane Watson. I still remember being, like Peter, awestruck at the vision in the unforgettable last panel of issue #42 where Mary Jane first appears uttering the Oh So Appropriate, "Face it Tiger . . . You just hit the jackpot!" - and so had all of us blessed by Stan Lee's prose and Romita's art!
A one issue Electro story follows with Marvel's atypical ending. But the heart of this book is the awesome 3-part Green Goblin juxtaposed with Harry's drug trip stories. The books the comics code refused to approve and Marvel, thankfully, printed anyway, cued the beginning of the end for the comics code. This trilogy is to Spider-Man what the Galactus trilogy (so recently adapted to film) is to the Fantastic Four. Not to be missed! Reprinted in this full-color trade paperback are Spider-Man issues #42-43, 82 & 96-98. Oh, click on the customer image above to see a small version of the beautiful cover of Peter Parker ripping off his shirt to reveal Spider-Man. |
