Let's face it. Writing an intro to this third volume of Spidey's earliest sagas is like writing an intro to Grimm's Fairy Tales. I mean, what can I write that you don't already know?However, the Marvel Bullpen left these two pages to be filled, and nobody, but nobody, wants to get the Bullpen mad! So kick off your shoes and get comfortable as we see if we can get in the mood together for the fun and frolic that awaits us on the pages ahead. We're layin' eleven feature-length Spidey classics on you, all illustrated and co-plotted by the incredibly talented Steve Ditko. And if you want to know just how talented he really is, bear in mind that even today, many years later when styles and tastes have changed incalculably, Steve's unique illustrations, action sequences and sense of pacing are just as breathtakingly impressive now as they were in those halcyon days of yore. As for the stories themselves, I think you'll find a few unexpected treats among them. For example, in issue #23, Peter grows increasingly jealous of the relationship between Ned Leeds and Betty Brant, though he hasn't too much time to worry about it since he becomes involved in a never-to-be-forgotten battle with the Green Goblin. And let us not forget ex-gang leader Frederick Foswell, formerly known as "The Big Man." Not only is he now out of jail, but Jonah Jameson has hired him as a reporter! Looks like Spidey will have a lot to keep him busy. |
