The Art of the Amazing Spider-Man

This oversized hardcover gallery collects iconic original art from The Amazing Spider-Man #39 122, is accompanied by essays from comics editor John Lind, and featured an introduction by Brian Michael Bendis. The Amazing Spider-Man has remained the flagship title for the classic Marvel Comics character Spider-Man for over six decades. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko co-created the character in 1962, and it quickly became a sensation. Then, with The Amazing Spider-Man #39, John Romita Sr. replaced Ditko as the main artist and began an epic run. This oversized Bullpen Books edition focuses on Romita''s work on ASM from 1966 to 1973, a run that would dramatically reshape the world of Spider-Man and his alter ego, Peter Parker. With his unmatched skill in dynamic layouts and composition, Romita, working alongside Stan Lee on some of Spider-Man''s most enduring storylines and with contributions from a supporting cast of legendary Marvel Bullpen contributor - including Gil Kane, John Buscema, Jim Mooney, and Mike Esposito - would help lead Spider-Man to even greater heights in pop culture. This evolution told through essays, covers, and original artwork - including seven full ASM stories, reproduced from the original art in the Marvel Comics archives - allows readers to engage with and appreciate the legacy of some of The Amazing Spider-Man''s most important contributors. Bullpen Books is a new series of art books that honors the work of legendary Marvel Comics characters and creators, starting with The Art of the Amazing Spider-Man in Fall 2024! This oversized hardcover features essays on work by John Romita Sr. and Gil Kane, covers, and original art scans from the Marvel archives.
