Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Spider-Man is as amazing as ever against adversarial alumni like the Lizard and the Kingpin, as well as up-and-coming enemies such as Stegron and Jigsaw - with the lesser-known larcenies of the Big Wheel and the Spider-Squad to fill his spare time! Featuring the first appearances of Rocket Racer and Will O'the Wisp! Forgotten chapters from the Green Goblin legacy and the Clone Saga! Spider-Man's origin and Peter Parker's college graduation! And J. Jonah Jameson at his best and worst! Guest-starring the Punisher, Nova the Human Rocket, the Human Torch and the X-Men! Collects Amazing Spider-Man #161-185 & Annual #11, Giant-Size Spider-Man #6 and Nova #12.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - B/W reprints of late 1970s ASM #161-185 and Annual #11
This eighth "Essential" volume collects black-and-white reprints of "Amazing Spider-Man" issues #161-185 that Marvel Comics originally published between October 1976 and October 1978. It also includes Annual #11 and an issue of Nova.
Len Wein wrote issues #161-180, and fellow ex-Marvel editor-in-chief Marv Wolfman started his ASM writing run in #182. Ross Andru provided the penciling for 34 of the 35 regular issues, with the only exception being #181, a "clip show" fill-in from the Spectacular ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good average volume in the Essentials series
This was a fairly average entry in the Marvel Essentials series - the return of the Kingpin, Stegron the Dinosaur Man and the Lizard, along with guest appearances by the Punisher, Nightcrawler and Nova. It is a good read for a Marvel fan ... most others probably won't have all that much use for it.

As many others have said, this volume DOES NOT contain Giant-Size Spider-Man #6. That issue, like most of the final issues of the Giant-Size books, was all reprinted material (which you can get in ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Punisher is now more important than the Green Goblin to Spider-Man
I already knew that I graduate high school the same year as Homer (and Marge) Simpson as well as Kevin and the gang on "The Wonder Years," but while reading "Essential Spider-Man, Volume 8" I discovered that I would have graduated from college the same year as Peter Parker. The only problem was that I graduated a year early while it took Peter "twelve" years to get his degree (he graduated back in 1965, but of course comic book years have their own weird math that you never really bother to figure out). ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT COMIC
IF you like Spider-Man you'll love this one and don't forget to get the ones before this Volume because then you'll be clueless on whats happenen so great buy now...



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Response to previous review
The previous reviewer stated that Giant-Sized Spider-Man #6 is not included in this volume. This is not entirely true. The contents of that issue are not re-printed, but the cover is included in this volume. There is also a note on the table of contents stating that Giant-Sized #6 reprints the contents of Annual #4. It doesn't make a huge difference since you still don't get the actual contents of the issue, but I thought it should be made clear what this volume contains.
