Celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Amazing Spider-Man with this very special Artist’s Edition!

Spider-Man is one the most popular characters in the history of comics. This Artist’s 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-Man’s origin is recapped and it’s a Who’s Who of all your favourite Spidey characters.

An Artist’s 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 colour 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 Romita’s drawing board as he was creating them!
