Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man #26

This handsome 2024 hardcover collects The Amazing Spider-Man Nos. 271–278, The Spectacular Spider-Man No. 111, and Marvel Graphic Novel No. 22, gathering a substantial run of wall-crawler adventures into one volume. The featured cover art — penciled by Ron Frenz with inks by Joe Rubinstein — spotlights Spider-Man in his black costume lunging dynamically against the Hobgoblin, with a banner promising a 37-page book-length epic and a second inset cover teasing an origin story, the latter rendered by the legendary Steve Ditko with his own inks. Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz's era of Spider-Man storytelling gets a fitting showcase here, making this a welcoming entry point for readers eager to revisit one of the web-slinger's most distinctive periods.
