About this Collection

This volume of the Marvel Masterworks series collects classic Spider-Man stories from the early 1970s, including issues #106-#109 of The Amazing Spider-Man and the first appearance of the Gibbon. It also features the complete run of the short-lived series Marvel Team-Up, issues #1-#11, showcasing team-ups between Spider-Man and other Marvel heroes like the Human Torch and the X-Men. As part of the Masterworks line, this hardcover edition presents these tales with restored colors and archival-quality production, aimed at collectors and longtime fans of the web-slinger's Silver and Bronze Age adventures.

In "The Horns of the Rhino!", Peter Parker tries to leave the life of Spider-Man behind, focusing instead on college and his aunt’s well-being—only to see chaos rise when a discarded suit ends up on display at the Daily Bugle. With crime surging under the Kingpin’s growing influence, Peter’s sense of responsibility begins to stir, testing his resolve once more. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita, with inks by Mickey Demeo, colors by Evelyn Stein, and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1992 Marvel Masterworks entry features a striking cover by John Romita and Mike Esposito.
