About this Collection

This volume collects classic Spider-Man stories from the mid-1970s, including issues #51-70 of The Amazing Spider-Man and the first appearances of the original Hobgoblin and the Jackal. It features key moments in Peter Parker's life, such as the death of Gwen Stacy's father and the introduction of the Punisher, all presented in Marvel's black-and-white Essential format.

In "Mission: Crush The Kingpin!", the web-slinger faces off against a desperate Doc Ock, who, from his prison cell, reactivates his mechanical arms and launches a high-stakes hijacking with a hostage in the sky. With the stakes raised and the city watching, Spider-Man races to stop the mad scientist’s twisted plan—before it’s too late. Written by Stan Lee, illustrated by John Romita with inks by Jim Mooney and letters by Sam Rosen, this 2000 issue features a striking cover by Bruce Timm.
