Relive the tales that forged the legend of the amazing arachnid in this high quality, hardcover volume. All the unforgettable villains that would later comprise Spider-Man's Rogue's Gallery are here: Doctor Octopus, the Vulture, the Sandman and the greatest Spidey villain of all, the Green Goblin. These are some of the best comics ever printed, and will make a fine addition to any collector's bookcase.

The next ten issues of the Amazing Spider-Man in this hardcover collection (Amazing Spider-Man #11-19 & Annual #1) continue to explore the dilemmas that teenager Peter Parker face, particularly his lack of confidence even though he has superpowers. Issue #20 is especially noteworthy as J. Jonah Jameson, the Daily Bugle publisher and Spider-Man hater, finances the creation of the villain Scorpion in hopes that his creation will destroy Spider-Man. But when Scorpion rejects Jameson's demands and unleashes his evil on the city, Jameson wrestles with the guilt of what he wrought. A fun collection that shows Lee and Ditko's growing confidence in their creation: Spider-Man.
