INTRODUCING THE PROWLER, THE SCHEMER AND A BOLD, NEW BLACK WIDOW!

Well tickle my webs and call it time for another offering of the greatest, friendliest, webslingingest super hero of all – the Amazing Spider-Man! The adventures Stan “The Man” and the Jazzy One, John Romita, have in store for you in this ten-spot of tales are enough to make even ol’ J. Jonah Jameson fall in love with Spidey. (Well, maybe not!) But that means you’ve no competition for a date with the likes of the Prowler in his first appearance; the beautiful Black Widow seen for the first time in her sultry new spy gear; an underworld family in-fight between the Kingpin and the Schemer – including Vanessa Fisk’s entrée into Marveldom; and the Chameleon, Electro and the Kangaroo – an assemblage that’s always the bridesmaid but never the bride.

It’s not just the most colorful array of villains in comics, of course! There’s melodrama aplenty in the fashion that could only befit poor Peter Parker. See how Mr. Luckless himself handles not only the loss of his powers and glowing Gwen’s fear of Spidey, but how he wiggles his way out of revealing his identity right before Gwen, MJ, and the gang’s very eyes! We’ll be waiting, so don’t forget that corsage, most Fearless Front Facer!

SPIDER-MAN’S MILESTONE 10TH VOLUME!

Prepare yourself for a collection of no-holds-barred Spider-Man classics that defined comicdom’s favorite super hero unlike any other! Starting off with the return of one of Spidey’s 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 Parker’s ladylove, Gwen, Captain Stacy’s 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, there’s no moment for rest for the ol’ Webslinger as he wriggles his through threats from the X-Men’s 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 “drug” issues.

There’s no question Stan Lee’s 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 Parker’s best friend, Harry Osborn, was revealed to be a drug addict. Letting a battle with Spidey’s nemesis, the Green Goblin, take back seat to the personal drama that scourged the real-life streets of the reader’s world, the Lee/Kane/Romita team set a new standard for the mainstream’s relevance.

Stan Lee pens some of his greatest scripts, chock full of edge-of-you-seat drama and up-to-the-moment politics, while the incomparable artistic team-up of John Romita and Gil Kane, launch into the most lavishly-illustrated and panel-bursting artwork to ever grace the pages of a Marvel comic. There’s no denying it, True Believer, these are Masterworks one and all!

100 ISSUES…6 ARMS…1 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!!!

The Marvel Masterworks celebrate Spider-Man’s centennial bow with ten classic Spidey adventures created by a quartet of the greatest talents in comics’ history!

Stan Lee and Gil Kane start it off with Peter Parker’s attempt to cure himself from his spider-powers gone horribly wrong. Yes, it’s the six-armed Spider-Man! And he’ll need the extra arms to handle Morbius the Living Vampire, in his first appearance, and the cold rage of Lizard. Rascally Roy Thomas joins the fray and then takes Spidey and his bikini-clad gal, Gwen Stacy, into the forgotten jungle known as the Savage Land to face towering beasts, Kraven the Hunter, and J. Jonah Jameson to boot!

When Stan returns the Spider Slayer comes with him, and right behind him is the talented pencil of John Romita. In what Romita cites as the favorite artwork of his storied Spidey career, Stan and the Jazzy One leap into an adventure teaming up Spidey and Doctor Strange against a mystic threat from Vietnam while Flash Thompson’s life hangs in the balance!

Comics don’t come better than this, so reserve that copy today, True Believer!

A HULK, A HAMMERHEAD, AN OCTOPUS AND A SPIDER!

The tension-torn adventures of comics’ most put-upon super hero, the Amazing Spider-Man, continue in another round of Marvel Masterworks classics! Stan Lee kicks it off with one of his craziest creations of all time, the Gibbon. And when that bestial baddy teams up with the vengeful Kraven the Hunter – well, it’s enough excitement to give a hero an ulcer…and it does!

Then, words between Peter’s lovely gal Gwen and Aunt May push his doting aunt out of his life and into the arms of…an octopus! Doc Ock returns to do in Spidey, but with Hammerhead, the only gangster with more steel in his dome than in his gun, waging a turf war to take over the city it’s open season on spiders!

Always a man of the people, Spidey uncovers the machinations of a mayoral candidate who’s not quite what he seems. Let’s just say there’s no doubt Richard Raleigh put the “action” in political action, alright? And topping it off comes a knuckle-busting, knock-down, drag-out fight between Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk that’s one for the ages!

THE DEATH OF GWEN STACY AND THE COMING OF THE PUNISHER!

Norman Osborn’s memory has returned. The Green Goblin is back. Gwen Stacy is missing. And it will all lead to a confrontation atop the George Washington Bridge whose aftermath will leave Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, forever changed. That’s right, it’s the – spoiler warning! – death of Gwen Stacy, the story that put a generation into therapy and cemented the Green Goblin’s name as the definition of evil.

The Marvel Masterworks present this tragic tale and a host of Spider-Man classics that would come to define the Webspinner’s world for years to come: the debut of Col. John Jameson’s werewolf curse, the Man-Wolf. The beginning of Harry Osborn’s descent into madness and suspicion and a certain green costume. The first appearance of Frank Castle – the Punisher – the maybe-villain, maybe-anti-hero who would rise to become one of Marvel’s most famous characters.

Topping it off, there’s the first appearance of the nefarious Jackal, the return of the Vulture, Hammerhead, the hilarious Human Torch-built Spider-Mobile, and the shocking wedding of Aunt May and Doctor Octopus! Add to that the debut of fan-favorite Spidey artist Ross Andru and what you have is a Marvel Masterworks!
