Amazing Spiderman: Essential Vol. 1 shows the beginning of the still ongoing series, from Peter Parker making history and being bit by that radioactive spider, to Spiderman battling The Sinister-Six for the first time. Throughout this book you will definitely find something that will grab your attention.
Although not being a fan of the co-creator's (Steve Ditko) artwork, it symbolizes a sort of landmark in the comic book industry. The style is very cartoonish, but believable. He put's ... Read More

Yes, it is somewhat of an annoyance that these books arent in color but I think fans should be grateful we have access to so much content for so little money.

If you are interested in the origins of Spider-Man, his friends, Aunt May, and several of his oldest foes then this is a great book.

If you like stories that can be completed in one issue instead of the normal six issues these days, or you just like a good Lee/Kirby story. This is the book for you!

Even oh so many decades later these stories are still astounding for the complexity of character they have. Sure, some of the portrayal of the teenagers will seem naive now due to cultural changes over the years but the depth of story-telling is really superb.
We see the creation of Spiderman of course, as well as many of his premier rogues gallery, though to be fair we also see some pretty weak villains as well. Montana and Fancy Dan anyone?
