About this Collection

This 2010 hardcover collects the 'American Son' storyline from Amazing Spider-Man, centering on Norman Osborn's political power play and the revelation of his son Harry's dark legacy. Featuring the debut of the American Son armor, the story pits Spider-Man against the Green Goblin's machinations while exploring the fractured Osborn family dynamic during the Dark Reign era. The collection includes contributions from writers Joe Kelly and Phil Jimenez, with art by Phil Jimenez, Paulo Siqueira, and others.

In "American Son Part 1," Spider-Man finds himself trapped and tormented by Norman Osborn, who has turned his son Harry into the American Son and plans to expose Spidey’s identity by slowly dissolving his mask. With Hawkeye poised to deliver the final blow, Spidey breaks free just as Harry—now wearing the American Son armor—arrives to intervene. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Paulo Siqueira and Marco Checchetto, with inks by Siqueira, Checchetto, and Amilton Santos, colors by Jeromy Cox and Chris Chuckry, and letters by VC's Chris Eliopoulos, the issue’s cover by Phil Jimenez and Andy Lanning captures the moment of high tension.
