Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - B/W reprints of first 31 issues of this 1970s Marvel Spider-Man series
This "Marvel Essential" volume collects black-and-white reprints of the first 31 issues of "Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man" with original cover dates from December 1976 to May 1979. Marvel created this second Spider-Man title in 1976 after the continued success of its flagship "Amazing Spider-Man" series. ASM-writer Gerry Conway wrote the first two issues, and Bill Mantlo wrote the bulk of this collection (issues #9-10, 12-15 and #17-31), and would continue for a seven year run on the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Spider-Man does it again.
This book is a great collection of Peter Parker issues from the 70's. Awesome stuff! 1976-9 collecting 'Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man' issues 1-31. Spider-Man faces some long forgotten foes such as- Tarantula, Lightmaster, Hitman, and Hate Monger. With guest-stars such as the Fantastic Four, Razorback, Black Bolt, and Daredevil. 18 issues penciled by Sal Buscema. And one of my favorite artists Jim Mooney and two issues penciled by the legendary Frank Miller! Also a bonus appearance by X ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Spider-Man at his best!
I always tended to think of the Spectacular Spider-Man series as the "little brother" to Amazing Spider-Man and assumed the stories must not be as good. Well let me tell you the stories in this collection are as good as anything in Amazing Spider-Man during the same time period! This collection features great art by Sal Buscema, Jim Mooney and even Frank Miller. The climactic battle with Carrion ranks up there with the most memorable Spider-Man stories I've ever read.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A new look at Spidey!
When I found this entry in the Marvel Essential series, I had to have it. This is about the era when I started reading Spider-Man, and this is the version that has stuck with me over the past 30 years. In retrospect, this is not the best that Marvel put out and was obviously a ploy at making more money, but there is some good material in here and really focuses on Peter more, especially as he attempts to balance college with the rest of his hectic life.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's great to see reprints of these issues.
I enjoyed these Spider-Man tales when they were new, and I'm happy to see them available again. Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (PPtSSM) was fresh and new, and it invigorated Spider Man's character, bringing a younger group of readers to Spider Man's other titles.

Someone may be interested in this book to follow the development of the storyline of Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (PPtSSM), or interested simply because it's Spider-Man. Particularly hot at the time were ... Read More
