Living in the golden age of reprints as we are today, I can think of no valid excuse on Marvel's part to have released this book as is. Strip size is fine, but forcing the reader to rotate the book in order read the strips is nothing short of ridiculous. And while I have no problem with b&w Sunday pages, at this price point there's absolutely no reason they couldn't have reprinted them in full color. There are many other strip reprint projects doing it right; this is a prime example of how to ... Read More

Received this book today and I'm not a happy camper. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the book is printed sideways, three strips to a page with a large wasted border at top and bottom, pretty much the only colour I saw in the book.

If Marvel had printed them in larger format, two strips to a page like they did the last few pages, I could ... Read More

Ah, the 70's. Spider-Man made a few appearences in various different media in the 1970s. Some good, (Spider-Man Rockcomix),some not so, (the terrible TV show).

Although it followed a different continuity than the books, it felt like an continuation of Lee/Romita run from the 60, prior Spider-man 100.
Romita was at the top of his game, and the art was fantasic. The Sunday strips were half pages in full ... Read More
