Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks Vol. 9 (Amazing Spider-Man (1963-1998)) Kindle & comiXology

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 88 ratings

Collects Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #78-87.

Spider-Man's early tales continue with the Prowler in his first appearance; the beautiful Black Widow seen for the first time in her sultry new spy gear; an underworld family in-fight between the Kingpin and the Schemer including Vanessa Fisk's entrée into Marveldom; and the Chameleon, Electro and the Kangaroo, a poor assemblage that's always a bridesmaid and never a bride. It's not just the most colorful array of villains in comics, of course! There's melodrama aplenty in the fashion that could only befit poor Peter Parker. See how Mr. Luckless himself handles not only the loss of his powers and glowing Gwen's fear of Spidey, but how he wiggles his way out of revealing his identity right before Gwen, MJ, and the gang's very eyes!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. Nevertheless: Having begun his career with wartime Timely Comics and staying the course throughout the Atlas era, Stan the Man made comic-book history with Fantastic Four #1, harbinger of a bold new perspective in story writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry’s greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men and more — forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After an almost literal lifetime of writing and editing, Lee entered new entertainment fields and earned Marvel one opportunity after another. He remains one of Marvel’s best-known public representatives.

-----------------

Stanley Martin Lieber (Manhattan, Nueva York; 28 de diciembre de 1922 - Los Ángeles, California; 12 de noviembre de 2018), más conocido como Stan Lee, fue un escritor y editor de cómics estadounidense, además de productor y ocasional actor de cine. Es principalmente conocido por haber creado personajes icónicos del mundo del cómic tales como Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, los 4 Fantásticos, Thor, los Vengadores, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, X-Men y Bruja escarlata, entre otros muchos superhéroes, casi siempre acompañado de los dibujantes Steve Ditko y Jack Kirby. El trabajo de Stan Lee fue fundamental para expandir Marvel Comics, llevándola de ser una pequeña casa publicitaria a una gran corporación multimedia. Todavía hoy, los cómics de Marvel se distinguen por indicar siempre «Stan Lee presenta» en los rótulos de presentación. También tuvo un programa televisivo en History Channel en donde buscaba superhumanos "reales".

I’ve been reading Spidey since I was a small child and to have these classics in the Masterworks series is such a joy. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of the genre.

Having spent money on hardcover books, this is the inexpensive way to fill in on gaps between what is available at reasonable price g and very expensive. Fun read, on to the next.

Another batch of great stories. Most of these issues I had not read before, very happy I purchased this collection. On to reading vol. 10!

There’s not a lot of interest in these issues from a villain standpoint, but there’s still the good ‘ol Parker luck, lol. I don’t like it that the time period made it seem okay to tell fat jokes and to call all women “emotional,” but I do recognize that these issues are more than 50 years old. The stories are mostly well-written and the artwork really captured everyone.

What can you say. Amazing!

Spoiler Alert. You've been warned. Another great Masterworks volume of Spidy. I wish we'd cut to the chase already and keep his identity revealed, but we'll get there sooner or later. Also I feel like the flu has shown up already for Spidy around issue 40-50 so I'm surprised he doesn't remember it zapping his Spidy powers. Pretty sure he ended up in the hospital as well. Felt like deja vu reading the last issue in this volume. Still amazing and can't wait to continue this deep dive of Spider-Man!

Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 9 by Stan Lee is an okay collection of Spiderman stories. This is the weakest volume so far in terms of story and memorable action and storylines. There's a lack of long-form storytelling, which is explained and does make sense, if you had a long-form story and miss one issue there were no comic book stores in the 1960s to get the missed issue, but it was a step back in storytelling. The adds to the Marvel universe in this issue are the Prowler who is not bad just misunderstood, he ends up donning the spider suit once in this volume, and to a greater effect later, we also meet Vanessa Fisk the woman behind The Kingpin, and The Black Widow makes an appearance where she changes costume which is pretty close to the outfit she wears today. The only villains in Spiderman's rogue gallery appearing in these issues are Electro, The Chameleon, and the Kingpin. The notable issue that is also on the cover is Spiderman unmasking in front of Harry Osborn, Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacey, Gwen's father Captain Stacey, when he comes to his senses he fixes it but this issue will place doubt in some that find the truth later. Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 9 by Stan Lee collects Amazing Spider-Man issues 78-87.

Plots: The Prowler is born and runs into peter parker who tries to stop him fearing he shows too much strength in front of J. Jonah Jamison throws himself out the window, with the Prowler believing he killed him, the Prowler gets set straight and vows to do only good. Electro works at a tv studio that just booked Spiderman for an interview, this will not be good. The Schemer takes away all of Kingpin's old property while he is in hiding, and the Kingpin comes out of it to deal with the Schemer. Spiderman wants the bounty for The Schemer and things end up getting personal for the Kingpin. Black Widow after having been in a relationship with Hawkeye and briefly joining The Avengers wants to go on her own she wants to learn the secrets to Spiderman's powers. The Kangaroo is an Australian villain that can jump high. Spiderman thinking he lost his powers shows his friends that he is Peter Parker, only to realize what the problem is and have to fix what they just saw. Spiderman stays with Aunt May and sneaks out making a dummy out of the web which Aunt May finds and has passed out, Peter has no choice but to lie to her making her think she's starting to go crazy.

What I Liked: The lying to Aunt May was pretty soul-crushing and was done well. The internal monologue was written well showing the indecision of the moment. The way Peter Parker fixed the reveal that he was Spiderman was clever and desperate. The Electro Fight was the only really good one on this issue, but it was really good. Gwen and Peter's relationship is so up and down but you see what he falls for.

What I Disliked: there's some dated sexism and it is from the smartest most thought-provoking character Captain Stacey. "You know Peter women are not like men, they think only with their heart", this line is said twice, causing me to roll my eyes both times. The Black Widow and Kangaroo storylines are horrible. Stan Lee even admits this is a promo for Black Widow's book and that is what it feels like.

Recommendation: Most of this book is skippable because it does not impact the larger story of what Spiderman becomes and it is just not as fun as the previous issues. I would recommend reading the 2 issues Prowler Issues 78-79 and the reveal of Spiderman's identify issue 87. The Chameleon and Electro issues are fun as well. But the 5 other issues are skippable. I rated Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 9 by Stan Lee 2 out of 5 stars.
