TASCHEN’s Marvel Comics Library offers collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lay their hands on the world’s most desirable comics.
The inaugural volume of The Marvel Comics Library. Spider-Man. Vol. 1. 1962–1964, features the first 21 stories of everybody’s favorite web slinger, meticulously honoring the original vision of Spider?Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. An in-depth historical essay by Marvel editor Ralph Macchio, an introduction by uber-collector David Mandel, original art boards, rare photographs, and other never-before-seen gems make this book the ultimate tribute to the teen who redefined what it meant to be a hero, right ahead of Spider?Man’s 60th birthday.
The inaugural purchase of the Collector’s Edition entitles the collector to preemptively secure the same identical edition number for all forthcoming Collector’s Edition titles in The Marvel Comic Library. The next titles in the series will be Avengers. Vol. 1. 1963–1965, Fantastic Four. Vol. 1. 1961–1963 and Captain America. Vol. 1. 1941–1942, all scheduled for release in 2022 and 2023.
“Occasionally you get lucky and the book you envisioned is the one that actually gets made. Sometimes, you get extraordinarily lucky and the final product exceeds all your expectations.”
— Sven Larsen, Marvel Entertainment
