Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 21

Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man #21

by Dennis O'Neil, John Romita Jr. (Illustrator), Frank Miller (Illustrator)

New York City has always been a defining element in Spider-Man's world, but it's going to drive him crazy-if it doesn't kill him first. From an NYC Marathon assassination plot to Peter Parker's paper-thin apartment walls; from a merged Hydro-Man/Sandman menace to running into your ex-girlfriend's new beau Biff Rifkin, the City That Never Sleeps just won't give Spidey a break. And the hits keep coming when Peter Parker is accused of causing a prison break and thrown in the slammer himself. Also featuring Moon Knight, a team-up with Sub-Mariner against the Frightful Four and the Aunt May solo "adventure" you demanded! Topped off with an iconic Dennis O'Neil/Frank Miller Annual pitting Spider-Man and the Punisher against Doc Ock! COLLECTING: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) 213-223, ANNUAL (1964) 15

Reviews

[Little Timmy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very nice reprint of these Spider-Man stories. enjoyable read and good art. Recommended

[Kyle Pennekamp · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just not a great era for ASM... but Roger Stern's run is up next and I'm excited for it.

[Christopher M. · Rating 3 out of 5]

A mixed experience. The stories are simple and formulaic with a structure in which a villain is introduced and Spidey fights them whilst quipping, occasionally breaking off to be a real jerk to Debra Whitman. But these are comics from 1980 when I first began reading Spider-Man, and the wave of nostalgia washes away any failings of the writing.

Denny O'neil's ASM run gets a bad rap, but I enjoyed it. There's not an outright stinker in the whole bunch. Possibly because there are no major events taking place, but there are lots of little character moments, and overall, it's quite enjoyable.
