About this Collection

This 1975 annual from World Distributors collects a selection of Spider-Man stories originally published in the United States, offering British readers a compilation of classic adventures featuring the web-slinger. The volume typically includes tales from the mid-1960s to early 1970s, showcasing Peter Parker's battles with iconic villains like the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, as well as his personal struggles. It stands as a notable example of the UK's tradition of reprinting Marvel comics in annual format during the 1970s.

In "Ship of Fiends!", Spider-Man races against time to secure a mysterious vaccine that could save Aunt May, only to find himself outmaneuvered by Dracula and a criminal mob vying for the same cure. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Ross Andru’s dynamic art and Don Heck’s sharp inks, this 1975 annual blends supernatural menace with high-stakes urgency. The cover by Harry Rosenbaum and John Romita captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.
