Possibly the greatest title in the history of Marvel Comics, The Amazing Spider-Man set the standard for all superhero comics that came after. Not only did we thrill to Spider-Man's battles with his weird menagerie of enemies, we also found his exploits out of costume as Peter Parker fascinating as well. Spider-Man was the first superhero who was human - he could get hurt (and did), he had weaknesses, and most of all he had real human problems. The first 100 issues of this title represent the peak of the comic book as a storytelling medium. This ebook presents large, full-color scans of the first 100 issues, plus the first seven Annuals. In addition the reader is given story and publishing information on each issue as well.
In the Rue Morgue, the jungles of Tarzan, the fables of Aesop, and outer space, the apes in these seventeen fantastic tales boldly go where humans dare not. Including a foreword from Rupert Wyatt, the director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this provocative anthology delves into our fascination with and fear of our simian cousins. “Evil Robot Monkey” introduces a disgruntled chimp implanted with a chip that makes him cleverer than both his cohort and humans alike. In “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” a murder mystery unravels with the discovery of a hair that does not appear quite human. Merging steampunk with slapstick, “The Ape-Box Affair” has a not-so-ordinary orangutan landing on Earth in a spherical flying ship—where he is promptly mistaken for an alien. King Kong sets a terrible example with booze and Barbie dolls in “Godzilla’s 12-Step Program.” If you’ve ever wondered what makes humans different from apes, soon you’ll be asking yourself, is it even less than we think?
