Editorial Reviews

The web master himself returns in high-spinning style in this signature DK ultimate guide. With a very visual presentation, this colorful hardcover presents Spider-Man in full glory and battle; from his beginnings as a nervous high school nerd love-struck by Mary Jane to his baptism in fire at the hands of devious power-hungry villains. A must-have for serious collectors. (P.S. The wildly anticipated film The Amazing Spider-Man premieres on July 3rd. It stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.)
