Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #105-142, GIANT-SIZE SUPER-HEROES #1 and MARVEL SUPER-HEROES (1967) #14.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\u003eGerry   Conway wrote Daredevil, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man   and others. He was instrumental in Marvel’s 1970s horror boom with work on Man-Thing, Tomb   of Dracula and Werewolf   by Night. His years on Amazing   Spider-Man yielded such historic highlights as the   groundbreaking death of Gwen Stacy and the debut of the Punisher. He also   wrote DC’s Batman, Superman, Wonder   Woman and Legion of   Super-Heroes. For TV, he has written and produced   episodes of Diagnosis: Murder, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Huntress   and Matlock.\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\u003eThe   career of the late Gil Kane   began in comicdom's Golden Age. Following his role in ushering in the Silver   Age of Comics via the re-creations of Green Lantern, the Atom and others, he   became Marvel's star cover artist and the regular penciler on Amazing Spider-Man. Kane also helped   develop Iron Fist, Morbius the Living Vampire and other Marvel mainstays. In   1971, he published the sword-and-sorcery\/science-fiction hybrid Blackmark, often called the first   American graphic novel. He was a multiple winner of the National Cartoonist   Society Award; in 1997, he was inducted into both the Eisner Award Hall of   Fame and the Harvey Award Jack Kirby Hall of Fame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn   1976, Ross Andru (1927-1993)   made comic-book history by penciling the first large-scale intercompany   crossover, Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man, having spent years illustrating both characters in various   titles. He also made Marvel history in Marvel   Feature, drawing the Defenders’ first appearance.   At DC, he spent nine years collaborating with Bob Kanigher on Wonder Woman. With Marv Wolfman and   Mike Esposito, he co-created Vigilante (Adrian Chase).","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300375154917,"sku":"NP9781302952570","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302952570.jpg?v=1742919858","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-amazing-spider-man-omnibus-vol-4-new-printing-isbn-9781302952570","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
