'The Marvel Comics Library, Spider-Man. Vol.1, 1962–1964 Collector Edition'

The inaugural volume of Taschen's Marvel Comics Library series, 'Spider-Man, Vol.1, 1962–1964 Collector Edition' is an exquisite compilation of the first 21 Spider-Man stories from 1962–1964. Taken from a limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies, the deluxe volume is presented with foil embossing and an aluminium print cover tipped into a leatherette-bound spine, and is housed in a slipcase. Inside, Spider-Man stories from the early 1960s are replicated through digitally remastered photography of pristine copies of rare comic books for an accurate reproduction of the feel of the first editions. The 698-page tome also includes original art and rare photographs — imagery that is presented alongside an in-depth historical essay by Marvel editor Ralph Macchio and an introduction by super collector David Mandel.
