ROGER STERN & JOHN ROMITA JR. WRAP UP THEIR AMAZING SPIDER-MAN RUN!
Roger Stern and John Romita Jr. earned their stripes as two of Marvel’s most legendary creators with their run on Amazing Spider-Man! They kick this volume off with the introduction of the Hobgoblin! Who is he, and how did he become one of the most threatening villains in Spidey’s life? Then, you can’t keep a bad Vulture down, as the master criminal returns in a classic two-parter. It serves as a prelude to confrontations with the Mad Thinker, Thunderball and Spidey’s most famous rogue, J. Jonah Jameson. Peter Parker’s romantic life gets messy when Mary Jane and the Black Cat enter the picture. And topping it off, one of the most beloved Spidey stories of all time, “The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man!”
