It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This anthology contains twelve key stories from the first two years of Spider-Man's publication history (from 1962 to 1964). These influential adventures not only transformed the super hero fantasy into an allegory for the pain of adolescence but also brought a new ethical complexity to the genre--by insisting that with great power there must also come great responsibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A foreword by Jason Reynolds and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of The Amazing Spider-Man and classic Marvel comics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-color art throughout.","brand":"Stan Lee (Author), Steve Ditko (Author), Jason Reynolds (Foreword by)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42976874758371,"sku":"9780143135739","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0356\/3906\/6759\/products\/9780143135739-us.jpg?v=1655215181","url":"https:\/\/littleprofessorbookshop.com\/products\/amazing-spider-man","provider":"Little Professor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
