{"product_id":"marvel-comics-library-spiderman-19621964","title":"Marvel Comics Library Spiderman 19621964 By Lee, S","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Stan Lee first pitched  the idea of Spider-Man in 1962, his boss was full of objections: People  hate spiders. Teenagers aren’t lead characters; they’re sidekicks. He  should be glamorous and successful, not a friendless loser. But Stan  persisted and Martin Goodman let him give the unlikely hero a tryout in Amazing Fantasy, which was already slated for cancellation. With Spider-Man on the cover, No. 15 shot to the top of Marvel’s best-seller list for the year, and the rest is history.Amazing Spider-Man,  which debuted seven months later, broke the comics mold. Peter Parker  lived in uncool Queens, was always broke, continually worried about his  Aunt May, was unlucky in love, and was constantly getting yelled at by  his boss, Daily Bugle publisher  J. Jonah Jameson. Spider-Man had the quips and confidence that Parker  lacked, but learning to use his powers wasn’t always easy. He often  seemed on the verge of defeat against the rogue’s gallery of classic  foes that debuted in the first couple of years: Vulture, Doctor Octopus,  Sandman, Lizard, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, and the Green  Goblin. Much of the credit for Spider-Man’s greatness goes to co-creator  and artist Steve Ditko, who had a knack for portraying teenagers and  their problems. His artwork infused Spider-Man with a loose-limbed  energy, and, while maybe everyone was scared of spiders, Ditko made swinging through New York seem like the coolest adventure ever.First available as an XXL-sized collector’s dream, this Bibliotheca Universalis edition features the first 21 stories of the world’s favorite web slinger from 1962–1964.
