Celebrate Marvel's 70th anniversary by experiencing the tales of the world's most-famous super heroes from the very beginning!

The Marvel Masterworks have brought readers deluxe hardcover collections of Marvel's classics from the Golden Age, Atlas Era, and the mighty Marvel Age, and now you can join in the Masterworks excitement with our new, monthly Marvel Masterworks trade paperbacks. And where better to start than where comics' most robust line of archival comic collections began - the Amazing Spider-Man! In 1962 in the pages of a comic book slated for cancellation, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko gave birth to one of the most-enduring icons in American popular culture-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. So join us in the following pages as we present stories of spectacular web-slinging adventure from Spidey's very beginning including, the tragic origin that started it all, the first appearances of the Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson, Doctor Octopus, the Sandman, the Vulture, Electro, and guest-star nods by the Fantastic Four and Human Torch.

And to top it off, we've packed this volume full of bonuses galore, including the complete original artwork to Spider-Man's Amazing Fantasy #15 origin from the Library of Congress archives!

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!
