Introduction by John Romita, Sr. Well tickle my webs and call it time for another offering of the greatest, friendliest, webslingingest super hero of all - the Amazing Spider-Man! The adventures Stan 'The Man' and the Jazzy One, John Romita, have in store for you in this ten-spot of tales are enough to make even ol' J. Jonah Jameson fall in love with Spidey. Well, maybe not, but that means you've no competition for a date with the likes of the Prowler in his first appearance; the beautiful Black Widow seen for the first time in her sultry new spy gear; an underworld family in-fight between the Kingpin and the Schemer including Vanessa Fisk's entrée into Marveldom; and the Chameleon, Electro and the Kangaroo, a poor assemblage that's always a bridesmaid and never a bride. It's not just the most colorful array of villains in comics, of course! There's melodrama aplenty in the fashion that could only befit poor Peter Parker. See how Mr. Luckless himself handles not only the loss of his powers and glowing Gwen's fear of Spidey, but how he wiggles his way out of revealing his identity right before Gwen, MJ, and the gang's very eyes! We'll be waiting, so don't forget that corsage, most Fearless Front Facer! Hardcover, 240 pages, full color. NOTE: Limited to 1,740 copies. Cover price $54.99.

Volume 101 - 1st printing. "AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!" Collects AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963-1998 1ST SERIES) #88-99. Written by STAN LEE. Art by JOHN ROMITA and GIL KANE. Cover by GIL KANE. Introduction by Stan Lee. Prepare yourself for a collection of no-holds-barred Spider-Man classics that defined comicdom's favorite super hero unlike any other! Starting off with the return of one of Spidey's oldest foes, Doctor Octopus, the two archenemies set into motion a gut-wrenching series of events leading to the death of Captain George Stacy. Ally to Spider-Man and father to Peter Parker's ladylove, Gwen, Captain Stacy's death marks Spidey for murder and pits the entire city against him. Now with hero, villain and even the man-on-the-street after him, there's no moment for rest for the ol' web-slinger as he wriggles his way through threats from the X-Men's Iceman to the politicking Sam Bullit and former friend the Prowler. And it all leads into one of the landmark moments of Marvel history, the Comics Code defying "drug" issues. There's no question Stan Lee's Marvel Comics strove for a relevance that the competition could only dream of - and with AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #96-98, that mission was placed front and center: Peter Parker's best friend, Harry Osborn, was revealed to be a drug addict. Letting a battle with Spidey's nemesis, the Green Goblin, take a back seat to the personal drama that scourged the real-life streets of the reader's world, the Lee/Kane/Romita team set a new standard for the mainstream's relevance. Stan Lee pens some of his greatest scripts, chock full of edge-of-your-seat drama and up-to-the-moment politics, while the incomparable artistic team-up of John Romita and Gil Kane launches into the most lavishly illustrated and panel-bursting artwork to ever grace the pages of a Marvel comic. There's no denying it, True Believer, these are Masterworks one and all! Hardcover, 256 pages, full color. NOTE: Limited to 1,615 copies. Cover price $54.99.

Art by GIL KANE and JOHN ROMITA, Sr. Cover by JOHN ROMITA, SR. The Marvel Masterworks celebrate Spider-Man's centennial bow with ten classic Spidey adventures created by a quartet of the greatest talents in comics' history! Stan Lee and Gil Kane start it off with Peter Parker's attempt to cure himself from his spider-powers gone horribly wrong. Yes, it's the six-armed Spider-Man! And he'll need the extra arms to handle Morbius the Living Vampire, in his first appearance, and the cold rage of Lizard. Rascally Roy Thomas joins the fray and then takes Spidey and his bikini-clad gal, Gwen Stacy, into the forgotten jungle known as the Savage Land to face towering beasts, Kraven the Hunter, and J. Jonah Jameson to boot! When Stan returns the Spider Slayer comes with him, and right behind him is the talented pencil of John Romita. In what Romita cites as the favorite artwork of his storied Spidey career, Stan and the Jazzy One leap into an adventure teaming up Spidey and Doctor Strange against a mystic threat from Vietnam while Flash Thompson's life hangs in the balance!

Cover by JOHN ROMITA, SR. The tension-torn adventures of comics' most put-upon super hero, the Amazing Spider-Man, continue in another round of Marvel Masterworks classics! Stan Lee kicks it off with one of his craziest creations of all time, the Gibbon. And when that bestial baddy teams up with the vengeful Kraven the Hunter-well, it's enough excitement to give a hero an ulcer-and it does! Then, words between Peter's lovely gal Gwen and Aunt May push his doting aunt out of his life and into the arms of-an octopus! Doc Ock returns to do in Spidey, but with Hammerhead, the only gangster with more steel in his dome than in his gun, waging a turf war to take over the city it's open season on spiders! Always a man of the people, Spidey uncovers the machinations of a mayoral candidate who's not quite what he seems. Let's just say there's no doubt Richard Raleigh put the "action" in political action, alright?

Written by Stan Lee, Larry Ivie, and Larry Lieber. Art by Jack Kirby, Don Heck, Chic Stone, Dick Ayers, Mike Esposito, and Wally Wood. Cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone. Introduction by Stan Lee.

Brought together to fight the biggest menaces in the Marvel Universe, Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp represented the heavy-hitters of the super-hero set, but Marvel heroes don't just hang out, they live, breathe, argue-and even fall out.

In an innovative twist that would come to define the Avengers, Stan Lee chose to have those original Avengers depart, leaving Captain America alone to carry on. But it was who replaced them that really got reader's attention. Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch-all conflicted and villains in their own right-became Cap 's new recruits creating a dynamic, unpredictable and exciting quartet that to many would become the Avengers's heart and soul. So sit and back enjoy the evolution of Earth's Mightiest Heroes as they battle Kang the Conqueror, the Mole Man, the Red Ghost, Count Nefaria, Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil, the Mandarin and the Swordsman.

With guest appearances by Spider-Man the Incredible Hulk himself, it's a Marvel Masterwork from beginning to end!

There's no Spidey like Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spidey, and the MARVEL MASTERWORKS are here to prove it once again with another heaping helping of webslinging wonderment!

Teenage outcast and king of the wallflowers, Peter Parker, may have the most amazing powers in the super-hero biz, but good luck coming up with more downsides than this cat. Not only does his boss, J. Jonah Jameson consider him Public Enemy #1, he's sending not just one, but two villains after him-Mac Gargan, the Scorpion, and the vicious Spider-Slayer. And to add insult to injury, the Human Torch one-ups him against the Beetle and the Circus of Crime offers a whole host of reasons to hate peanuts. After that anybody'd need therapy, so Spidey hits the couch, and the couch hits right back with a mysterious foe that's going to give Parker's complexes complexes! To make matters worse, the Green Goblin teams up with the Crime-Master, Aunt May finds a certain red and blue costume, and the Molten Man makes high school graduation a day to remember in Forest Hills, Queens.

Top that off with a classic team-up between Lee and Ditko's greatest creations, Spidey and Dr. Strange, and you've got yourself a cover-to-cover classic!

Cover by STEVE DITKO and DEAN WHITE. Spinning Spidey's webs to greater and greater heights, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created an unabashed cultural phenomenon in The Amazing Spider-Man. Their blend of Peter Parker's everyday woes, mixed with his webslinging alter ego's super-heroic exploits, was something undeniably special. And after years of perfecting that formula, they unleashed their Spider-Man masterpiece-the Master Planner saga. Spidey roots out the secret hideout of the mastermind that has been terrorizing New York, but he won't take him down without a challenge. Buried under a mountain of machinery with the clock ticking and Aunt May's life on the line, Stan and Steve put Spider-Man through the most wrenching experience of his career and define a hero in the process. They'll also introduce you to Gwen Stacy for the very first time; show you around the campus at E.S.U.; and run the gamut from Kraven the Hunter to "Just a Guy Named Joe" before a new talent joins the Spider-Man family. The Jazzy One, John Romita, makes his Spider-Man debut! And oh, what a debut it is! His identity uncovered by the Green Goblin, Spidey finds himself fighting for his life only to discover the Goblin is none other than Norman Osborn. To top it off you'll get the Green Goblin's origin in an edge-of-your-seat Marvel classic, and, as an amazing never-before-seen bonus, the complete pencils to Amazing Spider-Man #31!

Cover by JOHN ROMITA, Sr. You just hit the jackpot, tiger! The MARVEL MASTERWORKS bring you another set of classic tales featuring world's most amazing super hero-the Amazing Spider-Man. With Stan Lee and John Romita bringing story after story of unmatched drama and adventure, it's Spidey at his very best! It begins with the first appearance of the bulldozer on two legs, the Rhino, and if he can't turn Spidey into an endangered species, then perhaps an out-of-control, outer-space powered Col. John Jameson might be able to do the trick. The action keeps pumping with Spidey's first meeting with the Avengers (hint, it doesn't go well), the Shocker, the return of the Lizard, Kraven the Hunter, and the debut of an all-new Vulture and the Kingpin! But the true heart of the story is in the tale of young Peter Parker finding his way in the world. He finds new independence as he gets his own pad with pal Harry Osborn, courts Gwen Stacy, and beholds one of comics' most unforgettable entrances, a certain Miss Mary Jane Watson. Of course, for poor Spidey there's just as many pitfalls as perigees, and rarely has Spidey had it worse than in "Spider-Man No More!" Softcover, 240 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.

And the boss of New York City's crime scene doesn't just have it in for Spider-Man, he's looking to deep-six both Spidey and Mr.-Hugs-and-Kisses himself, J. Jonah Jameson. Will the web-slinger save the day, or will he do a favor for all humanity and let Jonah take a well-deserved dip with the fishes? Then, it's horror on the home front when Peter Parker becomes the third wheel to comics' odd couple. Yes, Aunt May's found a new friend - in the person of Dr. Otto Octavius! Yowza! While a klonk on the head may help Spidey forget that one, teaming up with Doc Ock isn't going to improve his image as public Enemy No. 1!

In their latest, greatest Marvel Masterworks, the Fantastic Four confront one of their oldest enemies: the Skrulls! And they'll have to do it as their older selves after an aging weapon advances them to death's door! The talents of Marv Wolfman, Keith Pollard and John Byrne - in his FF debut - keep the story feisty, the art spry and the adventure fantastic. How could it not be when the world-devourer Galactus enters the fray with a new herald? As if that weren't enough, the cosmic Sphinx, scheming Monocle, combustible Blastaar, formidable Frightful Four and diabolical Salem's Seven keep the scope epic, the stakes absolute and you on the edge of your seat! And H.E.R.B.I.E.? He's just keeping it real.
