MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VOL. 5 HC

Written by Stan Lee, penciled an cover by John Romita Sr.

Back-to-press and fully restored. It's a truly epic run from the annals of the Amazing Spider-Man with Stan Lee and John Romita bringing story after story of drama and adventure! It begins with the first appearance of the bulldozer on four legs, the Rhino, and if he can't turn Spidey into an endangered species, then perhaps an out-of-control, outer-space powered Col. John Jameson might be able to do the trick. The action keeps pumping with Spidey's first meeting with the Avengers (hint, it doesn't go well), the Shocker, the return of the Lizard, Kraven the Hunter, and the debut of an all-new Vulture and the Kingpin! But the true story is in the tale of young Peter Parker finding his way in the world. He'll reach new heights as he gets his own pad with pal Harry Osborn, courts Gwen Stacy, and beholds one of comics' most unforgettable entrances, Mary Jane Watson, for the very first time. Of course, for poor Spidey there's just as many pitfalls as perigees, and you'll be rattled to your core when J. Jonah Jameson finally editorializes Spidey out of existence! Collecting The Amazing Spider-Man #41-50 and Annual #3.
