Cover by John Romita, Sr. Introduction by Brian Michael Bendis. Chapter Forewords by John Lind and Ian Chagren. This oversized hardcover gallery collects iconic original art from The Amazing Spider-Man #39-#122, and is accompanied by essays from comics editor John Lind. The Amazing Spider-Man has remained the flagship title for the classic Marvel Comics character Spider-Man for over six decades. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko co-created the character in 1962, and it quickly became a sensation. Then, with The Amazing Spider-Man #39, John Romita Sr. replaced Ditko as the main artist and began an epic run. This oversized Bullpen Books edition focuses on Romita's work on ASM from 1966 to 1973, a run that would dramatically reshape the world of Spider-Man and his alter ego, Peter Parker. With his unmatched skill in dynamic layouts and composition, Romita, working alongside Stan Lee on some of Spider-Man's most enduring storylines and with contributions from a supporting cast of legendary Marvel Bullpen contributor-including Gil Kane, John Buscema, Jim Mooney, and Mike Esposito-would help lead Spider-Man to even greater heights in pop culture. This evolution told through essays, covers, and original artwork-including seven full ASM stories, reproduced from the original art in the Marvel Comics archives-allows readers to engage with and appreciate the legacy of some of The Amazing Spider-Man's most important contributors. Bullpen Books is a new series of art books that honors the work of legendary Marvel Comics characters and creators, starting with THE ART OF AMAZING SPIDER-MAN in Fall 2024! This oversized hardcover features essays on work by John Romita Sr. and Gil Kane, covers, and original art scans from the Marvel archives. Hardcover, 11-in. x 10-in., 200 pages, full color. All Ages Cover price $59.99.
