Spiderman Comic Books & Graphic Novels

1st printing. Written by Annie Hunter Eriksen. Art and cover by Lee Gatlin. Spider-Man's web of stories began far before the first drawing of nerdy teenager Peter Parker. They started with Steve Ditko, a kid who loved comics so much that he would brave blizzards to get new issues. Steve was strange-he was introverted, his art was shadowy, and his characters didn't fit the mold of handsome heroes like those crafted by Marvel legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. But it's not so strange that the traits that made Steve different were what made his characters stand out. Swing into the life of Steve Ditko and discover how he transformed a brawny, super-powered Spiderman into the perpetually awkward teenager who we know and love: Spider-Man, a character who relies on his inner strength more than super strength, who got his powers not through magic but through the bite of a radioactive spider... This biography takes the mask off the famously reclusive artist and shares the story of how his wall-crawling hero became a friendly neighborhood icon. Hardcover, 9-in. x 10-in., 32 pages, full color. All Ages Cover price $18.99.

1st printing. While the second comic book revolution can accurately be stated to have begun with the Fantastic Four in 1961, the focal point of that period would have to narrow down to one character who epitomized the new trend towards "humanized" superheroes. Spider-Man was the alienated adolescent - the geek, the nerd, the outsider who didn't fit in with everyone else and who didn't have a clue as to what he could do to change his lot in life. Then along came a spider.... Take a look at the early years, history, the influence of the Romitas (Sr. & Jr.), and much more as Comics File Magazine puts the spotlight on Spider-Man! Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 56 pages, B&W. Cover price $5.95.
