This is a great volume in the Marvel Essential series. Not only being a pivotal series in the Marvel canon, this also features some of the best artwork that John Romita Sr. would ever put out. He was so synonymous with Marvel that he was often called in (when he was art director) to redo faces and figures on covers and stories done by other artists so they looked more "Marvel" (much like Curt Swan/Kurt Shaffenberger would do for Superman in Jack Kirby's Fourth World stories).

This volume collects Amazing Spider-Man issues #69-89 and Annuals #4-5, originally published between February 1969 and October 1970. Stan Lee is the credited writer for all issues and 'Jazzy Johnny' Romita (Sr.) the penciler for most. John Buscema is listed as penciler for #76-81 while Romita got a 'co-writer/art' credit. Many of these issues were also reprinted in issues #52-70 of the mid 1970s Marvel Tales series.
The long first story arc features Kingpin and 'The Secret of the Petrified Tablet'. ... Read More

"The Essential Spider-Man, Volume 4" presents black & white reprints of "The Amazing Spider-Man" #69-89 and Annuals #4-5, which covers the web-head from 1969-71. I was sort of surprised as I read through these issues again that really nothing significant happens. I mean, we have return visits from the Kingpin, the Lizard, the Chameleon, Mysterio and Doctor Octopus, but the new villains are pretty week: Man-Mountain Marko, the Prowler, the Kangaroo, and the Schemer. Make that incredibly weak villains, except ... Read More

The Essential Spider-Man Volume 4 is a very good collection of stories that place our super hero and his alter-ego into situations that, in a day and age over thirty years after their publication, seem so relevant to modern-day Americans.
Though Peter Parker was always busy being both an underappreciated crime fighter and a student trying to maintain an active social life, his attempts to keep his super hero identity a secret have taken their toll. Before, Peter's main secret identity challenge was to ... Read More

I bought this book along with the previous volumes. In the wondrous Marvel Age of the sixties, there were two true stand-outs. The first was the Fantastic Four (Kirby's best 'nuff said), and the other Spider-man. I would argue that Peter Parker is the greatest of the classic Siver Age Super-Heroes. He was no Jet Pilot, Doctor, or Captain of Industry, just a pretty average kid who, after one tragic mistake, always tried to do the right thing. This volume I would not rate as highly as the others, simply because it ... Read More
