The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel's transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy.
It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.
This anthology contains twelve key stories from the first two years of Spider-Man's publication history (from 1962 to 1964). These influential adventures not only transformed the super hero fantasy into an allegory for the pain of adolescence but also brought a new ethical complexity to the genre-by insisting that with great power there must also come great responsibility.
A foreword by Jason Reynolds and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of The Amazing Spider-Man and classic Marvel comics.
The Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-colour art throughout.

Author Stephan Friedt shares the story of the meteoric rise of the
Schanes brothers’ California-based imprint Pacific Comics, which
published such legends as Jack Kirby, Sergio Aragonés, Steve
Ditko, Neal Adams, Mike Grell, Bernie Wrightson, and Dave Stevens.
From its groundbreaking 1981 arrival in the fledgling direct sales
market, to a catastrophic, precipitous fall after only four years,
The Pacific Comics Companion reveals the inside saga, as told to
Friedt by Bill and Steve Schanes, David Scroggy, and many of the
creators themselves. It also focuses on the titles and the amazing
array of characters they introduced to an unsuspecting world,
including The Rocketeer, Captain Victory, Ms. Mystic, Groo the
Wanderer, Starslayer, and many more. Written with the editorial
assist of Eisner Award-winning historian Jon B. Cooke, this
retrospective is the most comprehensive study of an essential
publisher in the development of the creator’s rights movement.
