Experience a unique inside look at the stunning artistry of Steve Ditko, co-creator of one of the most recognizable superheroes in the world – The Amazing Spider-Man – in this gorgeous, oversized Artist’s Edition! From the very first appearance of Spider-Man to some of his most iconic moments, experience world-renowned co-creator Steve Ditko’s original art like never before! This Artist’s Edition features the web-slinger’s very first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15, as well as three more incredible, complete stories: The Amazing Spider-Man #20, #26, and #33—the latter of which is regarded by many as the apex of Ditko’s finest on Spider-Man! Also included are scanned photocopies of Steve Ditko’s rarely seen The Amazing Spider-Man #31 pencil art, scanned art from more than 20 other issues (including covers, splash pages, pin-ups, and panel pages), and more. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn.
