With John Romita Sr. channeling film noir in his visuals and Stan Lee offering longer stories for a more mature readership, these were Spidey tales like nothing that had come before! In the first issue, told in glorious halftone black and white, Richard Raleigh bids to be the next mayor of New York — but will a monster running amok in the Big Apple derail his campaign?

Plus: Revisit Spider-Man’s origin as retold by Stan and his brother, Larry Lieber!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOLLECTING: Spectacular Spider-Man (1968) 1-2Writer\/editor   \u003cb\u003eStan Lee\u003c\/b\u003e (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\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn   Romita\u003c\/b\u003e 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\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry   Lieber\u003c\/b\u003e 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":48233571188965,"sku":"NP9781302965051","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302965051.jpg?v=1767737055","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/spectacular-spiderman-lo-this-monster-treasury-edition-isbn-9781302965051","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
