Between Spider-Man finding his voice as a wiseass, Stan Lee's unbridled enthusiasm and fourth-wall breaking, and Art Simek's POW! One of the best things about this massive collection was how it made me feel like I was meeting Spider-Man for the first time all over again, and it has made me eager to read more! Witness the origins of Doctor Octopus, the Sandman, the Lizard, Electro and more of Spider-Man's original rogues gallery - most of whom remain in the spotlight forty years later!
With so many classic moments and characters, this Omnibus delivers it all with wonderful reproductions and colour work including the letters and design of the original. I own a number of these Marvel Omnibus editions now, but this is the one I would grab if there was a fire and I could only take one with me. As these issues were made in the '60s, their writing and illustrations are very simplistic and basic in nature, especially by today's standards. This issue has a lot of good Flash, Liz, and Betty stuff, though Peter continues to be kind of a creep.Ani Betty ani Liz a dokonce ani Gwen nejsou dobře napsané postavy a tím pádem mě milostné mnohouhelníky nemají šanci zabavit. One iconic story follows another: the Stone Tablet Saga, the debut of Black Widow's new look, Kingpin's Shakespearean family drama, Captain Stacy's tragic death, the pathos of Peter Parker's love triangle with Gwen Stacy and Spidey, the historic Comics Code-defying "drug" issues, and Morbius the Living Vampire's debut! J. Jonah Jameson actually gets to be more of a reliable newspaper publisher with this issue when he notes some potential issues with Kraven. By the end of the Kirby/Lee run that is this omnibus they are just getting to the familiar storylines everyone knows from the movies.
Additionally, the basic characterization of fan-favorite characters like Flash Thompson, Liz Allen, Betty Brandt, and Aunt May was especially interesting to me because they stood in stark contrast to their contemporary counterparts in recent publications; the character development which each had undergone over the past five decades was all the more apparent after reading of their humble beginnings. Admittedly, it’s quick, but it lays out Spider-Man’s origin, and it isn’t afraid to make him unsympathetic and somewhat petty, which was revolutionary for the time.
Still this book represents the creme-de-la-creme - and anyone with the slightest interest in heroes in tights owes it to themselves to check this out.
Doctor Octopus is my pick for Spider-man’s greatest villain (Sorry—not sorry—Goblin fans), and his first issue is awesome. And for the curious, you get a beautiful book with all the wondeful stories written and drawn by Stan Lee and Steve Ditco in one collective volume. The pressure that caused Peter to hide who he is from people like Jameson also takes its toll on him.Steve Ditko's art never infringed on either precept, which is something I cannot say for newer comics. He subsequently led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.

More jealous Peter and Betty here with some Peter being befuddled by Princess Python being a girl that’s all aged very badly.
Great Deal
