MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VOL. 10 HC
Written by STAN LEE
Penciled by JOHN ROMITA & GIL KANE
Cover by GIL KANE
Prepare yourself for a collection of no-holds-barred Spider-Man classics that defined comicdomıs favorite super hero unlike any other! Starting off with the return of one of Spideyıs oldest foes, Doctor Octopus, the two archenemies set into motion a
gut-wrenching series of events leading to the death of Captain George Stacy. Ally to Spider-Man and father to Peter Parkerıs ladylove, Gwen, Captain Stacyıs death marks Spidey for murder and pits the entire city against him. Now with hero, villain and even the man-on-the-street after him, thereıs no moment for rest for the olı web-slinger as he wriggles his way through threats from the X-Menıs Iceman to the politicking Sam Bullit and former friend the Prowler. And it all leads into one of the landmark moments of Marvel history, the Comics Code defying ³drug² issues. Thereıs no question Stan Leeıs Marvel Comics strove for a relevance that the competition could only dream of and with AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #96-98, that mission was placed front and center: Peter Parkerıs best friend, Harry Osborn, was revealed to be a drug addict. Letting a battle with Spideyıs nemesis, the Green Goblin, take a back seat to the personal drama that scourged the real-life streets of the readerıs world, the Lee/Kane/Romita team set a new standard for the mainstreamıs relevance. Stan Lee pens some of his greatest scripts, chock full of edge-of-your-seat drama and up-to-the-moment politics, while the incomparable artistic team-up of John Romita and Gil Kane launches into the most lavishly illustrated and panel-bursting artwork to ever grace the pages of a Marvel comic. Thereıs no denying it,
True Believer, these are Masterworks one and all! Collecting THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #88-99.
