Product Description:
From classics like Doc Ock to lesser known law breakers like Cyclone, we've got more villains than you can shake the proverbial stick at (although webbing is actually more recommended)! Illusion's the order of the day with the miscreant misdeeds of Mindworm, Mysterio, and Mirage - but the Jackal's got something much more enduring in mind! Witness the birth of the Clone Saga! Spidey faces a lashing from the Lizard, a scrap with the Scorpion and a tussle with the Tarantula - but can any menace truly match... the Spider-Mobile? Featuring the origins of the Jackal, the Grizzly, the Fly, Mose Magnum, and more! Collects Amazing Spider-Man #138-160, Amazing Spider-Man Annual #10, and Giant-Size Spider-Man #4-5.

More than the Fantastic Four, more than the X-Men, Captain America, the Hulk or Iron Man, the face of Marvel Comics has always been Spider-Man. When Stan Lee and company created a new type of superhero in the early 1960s, the distinctive aspect was that the characters were distinctly human, with flaws that earlier heroes lacked. And the most "human" in the bunch was Peter Parker, nerdy teenager transformed into a superhero by chance.
Though initially almost friendless, by the time ... Read More

This seventh "Essential" volume collects black-and-white reprints of "Amazing Spider-Man" issues #138-160 (plus Giant Size #4-5 and Annual 10) that Marvel Comics originally published between November 1974 and September 1976. Most of these issues were also reprinted as "Marvel Tales" #115-136 between 1980 and 1982. This run features two prominent writers: Gerry Conway for #138-149 & GS #4-5 and Len Wein for #151-160. Ross Andru penciled most of these issues (#138-149, #156-160 & GS #4-5) with past ... Read More

This can hardly be considered an objective review, as this volume contains many of the first comic books I ever bought, some 30+ years ago.
Nonetheless, I have to say that the stories in this volume seem to hold up very well over the years. Gerry Conway is my favorite of Marvel's "B-List" writers (compared to Len Wein, Bill Mantlo, et al); Conway's stories zip along at a quick pace and they never seem "stagy" the way Wein's or Roy Thomas's often do.
The art, by Ross Andru, ... Read More

After listening to me explain in excruciating detail the differences between "Spider-Man 3" and "what really happened" in the Spider-Man comic books by eldest daughter finally asked me, "Do you actually have all of these comic books you keep talking about?" I then proceeded to show her the 11-CD Rom Amazing Spider-Man Complete Comic Book Collection, the various "Marvel Masterworks" and "Essential Amazing Spider-Man" volumes, and all of the actual Spider-Man comic books from the "Volume 2" period. I ... Read More

All right, this collection is awesome. It starts off with the Mindworm, and then goes to the Grizzly, the Jackal, Tarantula, Moses Magnum, the new Mysterio, Doc Ock, Hammerhead, and the list goes on. It also has some great guest stars such as the Punisher and the Man-Thing, and starts off one of the greatest sagas of all time, the clone saga. All in all, you should buy this collection.
