Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus - Volume 1 (New Printing)

Product Information

I've actually had the book from the initial release and read it in stops and starts (to be fair, it followed me around the world). and Gil Kane, Spidey grew to become not just the most relatable hero in comics, but also the industry's top seller! Lee gets a lot of credit for his sharp take and themes but Ditko I feel is the real powerhouse, churning out classic costume after costume, visually representing an entire world, all while creeping everyone out with his weird figures and dynamic compositions. Peter Parker's background, his relationships with Aunt May, his schoolmates and J Jonah Jameson, his love life, the Sinister Six.

However, I feel like that last panel really works for me and the action is fun, so I’m willing to forgive quite a bit. Partly because of his immaturity and that need to stay closeted less the Jamesons do anything worse. Okay, I gave the Goblin some crap about his first appearance, but I genuinely think his second is great. Pacing can be slow in some stories, the dialogue and interactions obviously feel dated, Betty Brant is terminally irritating (and frankly looks weird most of the time) and her 'relationship' with Peter feels very underbaked. If you were to compare Steve Ditko's art to most anything you can find in a superhero comic these days, you would find Ditko's simplicity almost naive.

Both of Peter's main girlfriends before a certain redhead made her first appearance, Betty Brant and Gwen Stacy, plus beloved supporting characters like Aunt May, Flash Thompson and the ever enraged J Jonah Jameson! Sometimes you just want characters to actually talk to each other to avoid the repeated frustration. The vulture fight is really fun and creative with the water tower scene being the first example of Spider-Man having to overcome a predicament that his powers might not cover.

Anyone reading it for the first time will probably find it familiar, given that it is often repeated. Doc Ock is on Spidey's tail, and the Master Planner has something truly terrible planned for when he gets his tentacles on Peter. In 1962, in the pages of a series slated for cancellation, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created one of the most enduring icons in American popular media: the Amazing Spider-Man!

Doc Ock is on Spidey’s tail, and the Master Planner has something truly terrible planned for when he gets his tentacles on Peter. It’s the story that cemented the Green Goblin as the definition of evil – and lest you think that’s the only milestone in these pages, this Omnibus also features the debut of the Punisher, the wedding of Aunt May and Doc Ock, Harry Osborn’s descent into madness, and a new role for Mary Jane Watson!

Honestly, I like the switch up of our mystery villain’s plan, but it is also rather silly and requires a ton of work. J. Jonah Jameson actually gets to be more of a reliable newspaper publisher with this issue when he notes some potential issues with Kraven. These old comics from the 1960s were as new to me as the day they were first printed, giving me a personally unique experience with Spider-Man even in this day and age, one that people who are already familiar with the comics may unfortunately miss out on when perusing this omnibus.I own a number of these Marvel Omnibus editions now, but this is the one I would grab if there was a fire and I could only take one with me. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. If you are looking for your fix of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko at their best, you need not look any further than The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. If you pick any two Omnibuses for your Marvel collection, get this one and the Fantastic Four one, another great read. This is the first story to blend everything: issues with the police, the difficulties of crime fighting, J.

Je zvláštní porovnávat Ditkovu kresbu na začátku a na konci a stejně tak i progres v Parkerově osobním životě, přihlédneme li, že se dost mluví o tom, jak Lee všechny kreslíře tlačil k tomu, aby kreslili víc jako Kirby a speciálně po Ditkovi požadoval, aby trochu polidštil všechny ty nepříjemné lidi v Parkerově okolí, a tak k zásadním změnám začalo docházet dlouho před Ditkovým odchodem.Admittedly, it’s quick, but it lays out Spider-Man’s origin, and it isn’t afraid to make him unsympathetic and somewhat petty, which was revolutionary for the time. I’ve bemoaned some of the melodrama, but the Betty-Peter breakup is pretty intense and more real than many of their interactions. Completing the entire Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-Man run in one massive volume -including every page, every pinup and every letters column. Were it not for Lee's relatable writing of Peter Parker, Ditko's fun and intense action sequencing, their vast imagination for character creation, and their love for the fans, it is fair to assume that the Spider-Man many of us know and love would never have come into existence. By choosing to be a hero, Peter gives hope to the future that has been squandered or abandoned by the adults of the present.
