This product will be especially unique as it will include every page of every 32-page comic book exactly as originally published: cover-to-cover, all the stories written by the legendary Stan "The Man" Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko and John Romita, Sr., among others...all the letters pages, every "Stan's Soapbox," all the Bullpen Bulletins ... even every vintage advertisement published in the comic books for more than 40 years.That's every comic from 1963 through 2003 by writers Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Marv Wolfman, Roger Stern, David Michelinie and more through current writer J. Michael Straczynski, with art by Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr. and Jr., Gil Kane, Ron Frenz, Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen, Mark Bagley and more, with the debut of just about every single one of Spidey's enemies, friends and family.
The only drawback (a relatively minor one given the sheer number of comics here) come in the 90s era of the comic when Spidey stories crossed through all of his 3-4 titles, most notably the infamous Clone Saga, and were not limited to just Amazing. That means you'll only get part of the story for several arcs. There's probably about 5-7 years of that going on, though not with every issue. Plus, there's the occasional crossover with other titles throughout the Marvel universe.
Regardless, I'm onboard for this. It's cheaper than the hardcover Masterworks and even the bargain priced (black&white) Essentials. It doesn't say, but I wonder if they will include the Annuals. There's at least 20 of those. Good stuff.
