The book rates a special place in hell for how badly Marvel botched it up. The Beautiful Sunday's strips were not in color and worst of all the strips were printed sideways , not in the typical for comic strips, landscape format. That meant you had to hold it sideways to read it, like Playboy centerfold picture. Don't take my word for it read the reviews for that version. But don't for any reason buy that version and it's equally bad sequel volume like I did.This new version corrects all those errors. Dean Mullaney's Library Of American Comics published by IDW can be counted on for the finest restoration and reproduction in the business.In 1977 the Nick Hammond Spider-Man TV series was about to debut and the feeling is that the time was ripe to introduce Spider-Man to a new audience. Maybe this super hero fad would amount to something.Stan Lee the co-creator of Spider-Man and co-creator of most of the Marvel Universe had given up writing comics but jumped at a chance to fulfill his childhood goal of doing a newspaper strip.John Romita was Stan's first pick to illustrate the Spider-Man comic when co-creator Steve Ditko left. After both left the comic book, they had both had talked for several years about reuniting on a comic strip.John Romita has a very polished mainstream style that merges the dynamics of Milton Caniff with the gloss of a fashion magazine illustrator. Romita was never a fast artist and had previously backed away from large production commitments involved in monthly comics in favor of his job as Art Director for Marvel Comics.Romita would have preferred if the strip was only Sundays or only dailies, but King Features preferred he do both. And both he did for four amazing years. The strip still runs today 38 years later.The first two years are all reproduced here . All of 1977 and 1978 strips with even the start of 1979 included. Over 600 strips in all , 334 pages. The color Sundays are reproduced in perfect color one to a page , while the black and white daily strips are three strips to a page.The storylines for the Sunday and dailies are one merged continuity. This can be repetitive because they needed to be written so both Sunday only and Daily only subscribers understood the story. This repetitiveness is especially noticeable at the beginning of Stan's run , but he got better as he adjusted to the new format. The Sunday strips were designed so that they can run with either two or three tiers. The three tiered ones are included here and I prefer them. But, be aware the first tier has only six different versions , that repeat every six weeks so when you read the volume you need to skip that first tier in Sunday's.While the Spider-Man version featured here has many of Spider-Man's supporting cast and borrows freely from his comprehensive Rogues Gallery of villains, it is a separate continuity from the comic books. This was done to simplify things for Lee , who no longer could keep up with the output on Marvel Comics.So Lee and Romita created new love interests for Peter and in one case an entirely new super-villain.Bruce Canwell provides the first in what I am sure will be a regular series of Introductions. Canwell draws information from both Lee and Romita. While we are lucky that both of these two creators are still with us, the memory of Mr. Lee is now very suspect, so Canwell wisely uses interviews done at the time to quote Stan.An interesting sidebar article covers the many celebrities John Romita was required to put in his strips. Besides this Stan peppers his stories with mentions of people and products of the era. Unlike some comic strips of that era you can not read long with out being constantly being reminded these take place in the 70's.In one big screw up by Stan has Peter shooting fashion model photos of Mary Jane Watson. In a reference to current "it girl " Farrah Fawcett Stan has Mary Jane say that the pictures makes her look like a raven haired version of Farrah. Really Stan , how could any one forget Mary Jane is a stunning Red Head.The stories for the most part averaged about two months in length. With some shorter pieces and one going three months.The very first storyline features Doctor Doom . An interesting choice , not being a regular Spider-Man villain . Doom is recruited by Publisher J. Jonah Jameson to come to the US and solve the world problems at the United Nations. Doom returns for a second story collected in this very volume.The second story features Doctor Octopus in a story similar to the comics with Doc using the affections of Aunt May to help cover up a museum robbery.In the third story Stan experiments with creating a unique to the strip super-villian. This was certainly not the norm as they mostly used established villains . The Rattler was a well designed villain and it's to bad he was never used again. There was a previous Rattler used in Marvel's Western Comics and an 1985 version created by Mark Grunewald in Captain America.Besides Stan's forgetting Mary Jane's hair color in this story he also had some strange logic in this story also. When Peter is innocently snapping pictures of Mary Jane he accidentally captures the Rattler in background of the photo entering the Reptile World Building. No one can know the connection between the Rattler and Reptile World so he goes to great lengths to recover the film. This would make sense if Stan hadn't previously had the Rattler parade around town for a week previous with a giant sign strapped to his body advertising Reptile World.The fourth storyline features Wilson Fisk , the Kingpin. A character created by Lee and Romita for their comic book run. This is three month story and the longest of the collection The Kingpin wants to run for Mayor and use Spider-Man as a pawn.The Kraven The Hunter story is only a month so that we can get in some short Christmas stuff for the Holidays. That brings year one to a close.The first story of the year 1978 is a non supervillian story which would become much more the norm as Stan realized he did not have to include one in every story.At the end of the Kraven story Stan has Mary Jane take a job with Kraven essentially breaking them up. In this story Pete falls for a pretty foreign girl who's father is a terrorist. The terrorist is planting bombs all over NY city decades before September 11th.In the next story Peter goes to Hollywood to play Spider-Man in a movie. Unfortunately Mysterio is also in the movie playing the bad guy.We wind up the volume with the return of Doctor Doom and then three street level stories with no villains.One is about the elderly being mugged for their Social Security checks. The next is about a jilted model . Finally we close the volume with a strange tribute to disco and Sudio 54.This volume contains hours of entertaining reading and the beautiful classic comic art of John Romita Sr. Can't wait for volume two.My Highest Recommendation.

The newspaper strip has always had a different storyline and feel than the comic book story arcs. Not better, not worse, just different. It's also fascinating to see the story told, from day to day, in such short chunks.

Nicholson This is a great reproduction of the first two years of the Amazing Spider-Man newspaper strip. Bright, white paper allows John Romita's art to stand out, particularly with the daily strips. The strips are printed three to a page and a week of dailies takes up two pages. The Sunday strips are in full color. Apparently, some of the sources of the for the strips weren't as great as the others, there are strips where the art is fuzzy and it's likely that those strips did not have good sources to work from. It doesn't really affect the reading experience, but it is noticeable.Romita's art definitely adapts to the medium. The first few weeks of dailies contain more greys and a shading, but that's quickly dropped for pure solid line work. The colors on the Sundays are bright and perfect.Lee's writing is actually pretty solid. The current strip isn't exactly known for being the best version of Spider-Man, but these first two years contain some solid stories. Frankly, it's some of the best writing in an adventure strip. Lee gets a good grip on the pacing of the strip and doesn't spend more time than necessary recapping. The Sundays in particular always pertain to the plot and don't sum the week up like in a lot of serialized strips. Reading them is essential to getting the flow of the story.There are times when it felt like I was reading a Spider-Man comic book.If you don't know anything about Spider-Man, this is actually a version of the character to read. But I think someone who is already a Spider-Man fan would get more out of the book.Peter Parker isn't very sympathetic. He has a tendency to act out in anger and selfishness quite often. This is balanced out by Peter also occasionally acting out of kindness as well. His main employer is also a grade-A jerk who is unreasonably antagonistic towards his alter ego. As a result, I found myself occasionally siding with supporting characters against Peter. I suspect this Stan Lee's attempt to make Peter more relatable by making him a flawed person. It works, thought I'm not sure it works out that well. I suspect that your milage may very in that regard.The strip jumps right into the action with an already established Spider-Man and his first villain is Doctor Doom. Lee pretty much starts everything in medias res and will only briefly flash back to a villain's origins if it's necessary. This keeps the pace going.
