The Ultimate Spider-Man

Beginning with a novella by Spider-Man's co-creator Stan Lee and veteran Marvel writer Peter David retelling the wall-crawler's origin, this exciting new anthology has original, never-before-told stories featuring one of the world's most enduring heroes. From Tom De Haven and Dean Wesley Smith's look at Spidey's early career, to David Michelinie's portrait of a dying reporter who wants his last story to be the revelation of Spider-Man's true identity, to Lawrence Watt-Evans's tale of a boy whose web-slinging hero-worship leads to tragedy, plus stories by Craig Shaw Gardner, Ann Nocenti, Robert L. Washington III, Greg Cox, Christopher Golden, and many more - here are spectacular new tales of Spider-Man adventure! Each story has a new or classic illustration by a Spider-Man artist from old favorites to today's hot talents, including Steve Ditko, John Romita, Bob McLeod, Ron Lim, Mark Bagley, and Rick Leonardi.
