For the first time ever in softcover, Stan Lee and John Romita's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN NEWSPAPER COMICS returns to print in Clover Press’s spectacular new line of deluxe slipcase editions!
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.
1977 kicks off as J. Jonah Jameson invites none other than Doctor Doom, the iron-fisted ruler of Latveria, to address the U.N.-and it’s up to Spider-Man to stop him from blackmailing the world’s leaders! From there, the wall-crawler faces off against a rogues’ gallery of iconic foes, including Doctor Octopus, the Kingpin, and Kraven the Hunter. Plus, the debut of an all-new villain: The Rattler.
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.
