About this Collection

This omnibus collects the complete 1995-1997 series 'Untold Tales of Spider-Man,' which fills in gaps from Peter Parker's early days as Spider-Man with stories set during the original Lee-Ditko era. Written by Kurt Busiek with art by Pat Olliffe and others, the volume includes issues #1-25, the 'Untold Tales of Spider-Man' Annuals #1-3, and the 'Untold Tales of Spider-Man: Strange Encounter' one-shot. It features classic villains like the Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Electro, the Sandman, the Green Goblin, and the Enforcers, as well as original characters such as Catherine D'Antan and the Scorcher.

In "An Amazing World," Stan Lee finds himself caught in the crossfire of a battle between Spider-Man and the Human Top, leading to an unexpected offer: a chance to star in his own licensed Marvel comic—without his input. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Pat Olliffe, this story captures the absurdity and irony of Peter Parker’s life when Marvel spins his adventures into a book he didn’t create and doesn’t profit from, all rendered with Olliffe’s expressive art and Steve Buccellato’s vibrant colors. The cover by Pat Olliffe perfectly captures the moment’s playful chaos.

After Stan Lee gets caught up in a battle between Spider-Man and the Human Top, he offers Spidey a chance to star in his own licensed Marvel comic book. As usual, things don't work out for Peter Parker when Marvel does the comic book without his participation and he gets no income from it.
