Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #68-85 and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL (1964) #5.Writer\/editor Stan Lee (1922-2018) made comic-book history together with Jack Kirby   in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental popularity of its new style inspired Lee to   develop similarly themed characters — including the Hulk and X-Men with   Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with   Bill Everett. After shepherding his creations through dozens of issues — in   some cases a hundred or more — Lee allowed other writers to take over, but he   maintained steady editorial control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into   a multimedia empire. In recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in   Marvel’s films established Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Romita was born in 1930 and drew for   Atlas Era Marvel Comics across many genres. By the time Stan Lee, Jack Kirby   and Steve Ditko were defining the look and feel of the Marvel Age of Comics   during the 1960s, Romita had made the move to DC Comics, where he was working   exclusively behind the boards of the company’s many romance comics. It wasn’t   until 1966 that he returned to Marvel Comics and the super-hero genre,   drawing Daredevil   before taking over from Ditko on what was fast becoming Marvel’s most   important book, Amazing Spider-Man. Romita’s slick, clean craftsmanship would be a hallmark of   his tenure, and his years of drawing beautiful women in DC’s romance books   paid off with iconic renderings of Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson and the other   women in Peter Parker’s life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote   the book on being a Marvel artist — namely, How To   Draw Comics the Marvel Way — and few were better   qualified. His career dated back to the Timely\/Atlas era of the late ’40s and   early ’50s. Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited   Buscema from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a   long run on Avengers   with the long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time   of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title —   including his personal favorite, Conan the   Barbarian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLarry Lieber helped introduce Ant-Man in Tales to Astonish, Iron Man in Tales of Suspense and Thor in Journey into Mystery. He also wrote   Human Torch solo stories for Strange Tales. In 1968, he and his brother, Stan Lee, collaborated on the   pivotal Amazing Spider-Man Annual #5, which revealed the secret of Peter Parker’s parents. Lieber   both wrote and drew runs on Marvel’s top Western titles: Kid Colt Outlaw, Rawhide Kid and Two-Gun Kid. Later, he scripted   Marvel UK’s Captain Britain, also contributing occasional covers.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301181182181,"sku":"NP9781302957810","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302957810.jpg?v=1767721387","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/amazing-spiderman-epic-collection-the-secret-of-the-petrified-tablet-new-printing-isbn-9781302957810","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
