- Book Synopsis
- Big name creators take on the world of Spider-Man, including the wall-crawler debut of Spidey awrtist legend John Romita Jr.! In this Epic Collection, Dennis O'Neil and John Romita Jr. make their Amazing Spider-Man debuts and bring with them the first appearance of Madame Web! New York City has always been a defining element in Spider-Man's world, and, like many a New Yorker, the city's going to drive him crazy-if it doesn't kill him first. From an New York Marathon assassination plot to Peter Parker's paper-thin apartment walls; from a merged Hydro-Man/Sandman to running into your ex-girlfriend's new beau Biff Rifkin, the City That Never Sleeps just won't give Spidey a break. And the knocks keep coming when Peter Parker is accused of causing a prison break. Also featuring the Aunt May solo "adventure" you demanded and two iconic Dennis O'Neil/Frank Miller Annuals co-starring Doctor Strange and the Punisher! COLLECTING: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #207-223 & ANNUAL (1964) #14-15
- About The Author
- With a writing resume stretching across the romance, sword-and-sorcery, and Western genres, Denny O'Neil wrote four years of Iron Man - including some of the title's most sweeping changes. His additional Marvel work includes runs on Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil and Power Man and Iron Fist, as well as the one-shot X-Men: Heroes for Hope. At DC, his groundbreaking Green Lantern/Green Arrow run earned him four Shazam Awards. He also wrote and often revamped such mainstays as Batman (where he co-created Ra's al Ghul), Flash, Superman and Wonder Woman, as well as adaptations of classic pulp heroes Doc Savage, Justice, Inc. and The Shadow. During the 1980s, he oversaw the groundbreaking death of Robin (Jason Todd). He has written multiple Batman graphic novels and novelizations, as well as The DC Comics Guide to Writing Comics. John Romita Jr. is a modern-day comic-art master, following in his legendary father's footsteps. Timeless runs on Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil established him as his own man artistically, and his work on Wolverine and World War Hulk is among the most explosive comic art of the 21st century. In addition to Eternals with writer Neil Gaiman, JRJR teamed with Mark Millar on the creator-owned Kick-Ass, later developed into a blockbuster feature film starring Nicolas Cage. Spidey fans rejoiced at the artist's return to Amazing Spider-Man with the "Brand New Day" storylines "New Ways To Die" and "Character Assassination." He later helped relaunch Avengers with writer Brian Michael Bendis and Captain America with Rick Remender, and contributed to the blockbuster crossover Avengers vs. X-Men. For DC Comics, he drew big-name characters such as Superman, Batman and the Suicide Squad before making a welcome return home to Marvel and Amazing Spider-Man. Multiple Eisner Award-winner Frank Miller broke into the comics business during the late 1970s, landing a choice assignment on the series Daredevil. His work quickly made the title one of Marvel's best-selling series, as well as establishing Miller as a fan-favorite superstar. During his tenure on Daredevil, he introduced the assassin Elektra, who became a major Marvel character in her own right. After completing his initial run, Miller returned to Daredevil as writer of the acclaimed "Born Again" run with artist David Mazzucchelli; he then collaborated with John Romita Jr. for the Daredevil: Man Without Fear limited series. Miller has also had monumental success with his work on other iconic characters. In 1986, he made a splash at DC with the wildly popular and hugely influential Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, which told the tale of an older Batman still fighting crime decades after his prime. The following year, Miller reteamed with David Mazzucchelli for Batman: Year One, putting a modern spin on Batman's classic origin story. Miller writes All Star Batman & Robin with artist Jim Lee, continuing to put his distinctive mark on the Dark Knight. Miller has parlayed his talents as a comic-book creator to major success in Hollywood. In 2005, Miller collaborated with Robert Rodriquez to co-direct Sin City, a film that was widely praised by both fans and critics. Two years later, Miller's 300 met with similar success, breaking multiple box-office records. Miller wrote and directed The Spirit, based on Will Eisner's classic hero.
