Product Information

 THE PENGUIN CLASSIC COLLECTION OF THE DEFINITIVE SPIDER-MAN COMICS!
 
OMG!
 
I'm so happy this exists. 
 

 It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few. This anthology contains twelve key stories from the first two years of Spider-Man's publication history (from 1962 to 1964).

These influential adventures not only transformed the super hero fantasy into an allegory for the pain of adolescence but also brought a new ethical complexity to the genre-by insisting that with great power there must also come great responsibility. A foreword by Jason Reynolds and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of The Amazing Spider-Man and classic Marvel comics.

The Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-colour art throughout.

Well done Penguin, on recognising the importance of comics and adding it to your "Classics" list. I like you a lot more because you've done this. 

There is a special edition hardback version (this one) and also a paerback version (HERE).
