# The Art of the Amazing Spider-Man - Hardcover

by **John Romita** (Illustrator), **John Lind** (Editor), **Gil Kane** (Illustrator)

**This oversized hardcover gallery collects iconic original art from _The Amazing Spider-Man_ #39-122, is accompanied by essays from comics editor John Lind, and featured an introduction by Brian Michael Bendis.**

_The Amazing Spider-Man_ has remained the flagship title for the classic Marvel Comics character Spider-Man for over six decades. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko co-created the character in 1962, and it quickly became a sensation. Then, with _The Amazing Spider-Man_ #39, John Romita Sr. replaced Ditko as the main artist and began an epic run.

This oversized Bullpen Books edition focuses on Romita's work on _ASM_ from 1966 to 1973, a run that would dramatically reshape the world of Spider-Man and his alter ego, Peter Parker. With his unmatched skill in dynamic layouts and composition, Romita, working alongside Stan Lee on some of Spider-Man's most enduring storylines and with contributions from a supporting cast of legendary Marvel Bullpen contributor--including Gil Kane, John Buscema, Jim Mooney, and Mike Esposito--would help lead Spider-Man to even greater heights in pop culture.

This evolution told through essays, covers, and original artwork-including seven full _ASM_ stories, reproduced from the original art in the Marvel Comics archives-allows readers to engage with and appreciate the legacy of some of _The Amazing Spider-Man_'s most important contributors.

Bullpen Books is a new series of art books that honors the work of legendary Marvel Comics characters and creators, starting with _The Art of the Amazing Spider-Man_ in Fall 2024! This oversized hardcover features essays on work by John Romita Sr. and Gil Kane, covers, and original art scans from the Marvel archives.
