Book Synopsis

The only issue-by-issue, story-by-story history of Spider-Man comics from the wall crawler's first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) to the present. Fully-illustrated with archival images.

From the moment Spider-Man first appeared on the cover of Marvel's Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962, creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko knew they had made something extraordinary. More than 60 years later Spider-Man is one of the world's most recognizable and beloved super heroes and his story spawned the lives and legends of countless other Marvel heroes and villains. How did a mild-mannered high-school kid named Peter Parker swing his way into comic book history and beyond? This is his story. In Spider-Man Total Universe, pop culture historian and curator Patrick A. Reed mines the Marvel archive and his own decades-long knowledge of Spider-Man to unearth every aspect of the making of this comic hero dynasty, tracing every storyline, story arc, cross-over event, saga, one-shot, and limited series. Along the way Reed profiles every key character in Spider-Man's universe and celebrates the writers, illustrators, and colorists that brought it all to life. Including thousands of images from the Marvel Universe archives, Spider-Man Total Universe is the must-have collection for every Spider-Man fan.
