Description
This handsome, full color hardcover explores Spider-Man and all his supporting characters, villains, writers and artists over the decades. Longtime comic-industry insider Rich Johnson (former VP of DC Comics, Lion Forge, an Eisner Awards judge, founder of Yen Press) examines the character using more than three hundred Spider-Man illustrations, including covers, interior comic art, variant covers, sketch treatments, and Marvel Studios film concept art. It's a beautifully designed book beginning with Spidey’s first appearance in comics in the early 1960s to present-day treatments. We start with his first appearances in 1963-66, with full page covers and the inside story of his creation. Then we go into full details of his legacy: The Death of Gwen Stacy, The Death of Jean DeWolf, Kraven's Last Hunt, The Clone Saga, The Hobgoblin, Torment, Miles Morales, Spider-Man Noir, Birth of Venom, Maximum Carnage and Coming Home. And those are just the subjects covered in Chapter Two, with two more to go! Bold graphics accompany each milestone of Spidey's career, with full page and even double page artwork by all the renowned illustrators, too numerous to list here. Front cover by Paolo Rivera, back cover by Gabriele Dell'Otto.
