Book overview
The Amazing Spider-Man swung into newsprint on Monday, January 3, 1977! The web-slinger's daily strip brought Marvel's most popular hero from comic pages to newspapers worldwide. Through Stan Lee's storytelling and John Romita's masterful art, the strip delivered dramatic storylines that pitted Spidey against classic foes while introducing brand new characters. In doing so, the strip helped make Spider-Man a household name beyond the comic book stands.
There's no rest for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man in 1979! From his prison cell, the Kingpin hatches a devious scheme to ruin Spider-Man's reputation by unleashing an imposter to commit crimes in the wall-crawler's costume! But that's only the beginning--Spider-Man must also face the murderous Loomis, the leader of the L.O.V.E. cult, The Prowler, and the return of Kraven the Hunter!
This series collects the strip strictly by year, reprinting each installment from January 1 to December 31. Each volume measures 11" x 8.5" in a horizontal format. Additionally, each book slides into a vertical slipcase, designed for protection and easy shelving.
