Written by GERRY CONWAY Penciled by GIL KANE & ROSS ANDRU with JOHN ROMITA Cover by JOHN ROMITA SR. Norman Osborn's memory has returned. The Green Goblin is back. Gwen Stacy is missing. And it will all lead to a confrontation atop the George Washington Bridge whose aftermath will leave Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, forever changed. That's right it's the-spoiler warning!- death of Gwen Stacy, the story that put a generation into therapy and cemented the Green Goblin's name as the definition of evil. The Marvel Masterworks present this tragic tale and a host of Spider-Man classics that would come to define the Webspinner's world for years to come: the debut of Col. John Jameson's werewolf curse, the Man-Wolf. The beginning of Harry Osborn's descent into madness and suspicion and a certain green costume. The first appearance of Frank Castle-the Punisher-the maybe-villain, maybe-anti-hero who would rise to become one of Marvel's most famous characters. Topping it off, there's first appearance of the nefarious Jackal, the return of the Vulture, Hammerhead, the hilarious Human Torch-built Spider-Mobile, and the shocking wedding of Aunt May and Doctor Octopus! Add to that the debut of fan-favorite Spidey artist Ross Andru and what you have is a Marvel Masterworks! Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #121-131 248 PGS/All Ages

Jonah Jameson, Doctor Octopus, the Sandman, the Vulture, Electro, and guest-star nods by the Fantastic Four and Human Torch.

Spinning Spidey’s webs to greater and greater heights, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created an unabashed cultural phenomenon in The Amazing Spider-Man. Their blend of Peter Parker’s everyday woes, mixed with his webslinging alter ego’s super-heroic exploits, was something undeniably special. And after years of perfecting that formula, they unleashed their Spider-Man masterpiece-the Master Planner saga. Spidey roots out the secret hideout of the mastermind that has been terrorizing New York, but he won’t take him down without a challenge. Buried under a mountain of machinery with the clock ticking and Aunt May’s life on the line, Stan and Steve put Spider-Man through the most wrenching experience of his career and define a hero in the process. They’ll also introduce you to Gwen Stacy for the very first time; show you around the campus at E.S.U.; and run the gamut from Kraven the Hunter to “Just a Guy Named Joe” before a new talent joins the Spider-Man family. The Jazzy One, John Romita, makes his Spider-Man debut! And oh, what a debut it is! His identity uncovered by the Green Goblin, Spidey finds himself fighting for his life only to discover the Goblin is none other than Norman Osborn. To top it off you’ll get the Green Goblin’s origin in an edge-of-your-seat Marvel classic, and, as an amazing never-before-seen bonus, the complete pencils to Amazing Spider-Man #31!

You just hit the jackpot, tiger! The MARVEL MASTERWORKS bring you another set of classic tales featuring world’s most amazing super hero-the Amazing Spider-Man. With Stan Lee and John Romita bringing story after story of unmatched drama and adventure, it’s Spidey at his very best! It begins with the first appearance of the bulldozer on two legs, the Rhino, and if he can’t turn Spidey into an endangered species, then perhaps an out-of-control, outer-space powered Col. John Jameson might be able to do the trick. The action keeps pumping with Spidey’s first meeting with the Avengers (hint, it doesn’t go well), the Shocker, the return of the Lizard, Kraven the Hunter, and the debut of an all-new Vulture and the Kingpin! But the true heart of the story is in the tale of young Peter Parker finding his way in the world. He finds new independence as he gets his own pad with pal Harry Osborn, courts Gwen Stacy, and beholds one of comics’ most unforgettable entrances, a certain Miss Mary Jane Watson. Of course, for poor Spidey there’s just as many pitfalls as perigees, and rarely has Spidey had it worse than in "Spider-Man No More!" Collecting THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #41-50 & ANNUAL #3.
