About this Collection

This collection brings together key battles between Spider-Man and one of his earliest and most persistent foes, the Vulture, drawn from the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man. It spans classic confrontations from the 1960s through the 2000s, showcasing the high-flying villain's evolution from a cunning inventor to a more menacing threat. The volume includes stories by legendary creators such as Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and John Romita Sr., offering a comprehensive look at their enduring rivalry.

In "Duel to the Death with the Vulture!", Peter Parker faces off against the Vulture—Adrian Toomes—in a high-stakes confrontation at a nursing home, where the villain has taken refuge after a surprising resurgence of ambition sparked by a wheelchair-bound patient. Roger Stern's sharp storytelling, brought to life by John Romita Jr.'s dynamic art and Pablo Marcos' precise inks, captures the tension as Spider-Man must act fast when his aunt's home becomes a battleground. The cover by Sal Buscema adds a classic flair to this 2017 Marvel showdown.
