About this Collection

A collected edition of Marvel's iconic wall-crawler adventures, published by Simon and Schuster as part of their line of Spider-Man trade collections from the late 1970s. This volume gathers stories from the classic Amazing Spider-Man series, showcasing the character's trademark blend of superhero action and personal drama. Exact issue contents are best confirmed against the indicia, as Simon and Schuster produced several distinct Spider-Man compilations during this era.

In "The Birth of a Super-Hero!", Peter Parker takes a surprising step back in his superhero journey, rediscovering the origins of his costume with a paperbag mask—before stepping into action against Electro during a live taping of the Midnight Talk Show. Stan Lee’s storytelling, paired with John Romita’s dynamic art and Jim Mooney’s inks, brings a fresh, grounded energy to Spider-Man’s early days, all framed by Bob Larkin’s vivid cover.
