Marvel Comics Library. Spider-Man. Vol. 2. 1965-1966

Their collaboration on Spider-Man couldn’t last forever―but the five-years of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s remarkable partnership lasted long enough for their character to evolve into a timeless icon and create a fandom that would last generations. TASCHEN’s second volume of Amazing Spider-Man stories collects the latter half of the duo’s magnum opus, featuring brand new arch-villains the Scorpion, Molten Man, and the Crime-Master, return engagements with Kraven the Hunter and the Green Goblin―and the three-part “Master Planner Saga” that reignited a feud with an iconic mystery villain, and left behind what many comics critics declare to be the greatest super hero story of all time. Beyond the action that faced Spider-Man―all choreographed with aplomb by the master stylist Ditko―there was also the matter of Peter Parker’s maturation during a decade of social upheaval and change.
