At the height of the Silver Age, Spider-Man swung into a new magazine-sized format — and the results were spectacular! With John Romita Sr. channeling film noir in his visuals and Stan Lee offering longer stories for a more mature readership, these were Spidey tales like nothing that had come before! In the first issue, told in glorious halftone black and white, Richard Raleigh bids to be the next mayor of New York — but will a monster running amok in the Big Apple derail his campaign? Then Lee and Romita go fittingly full-color for the Green Goblin’s highflying return, delivering a feature-length showdown between Spidey and his archnemesis! Plus: Revisit Spider-Man’s origin as retold by Stan and his brother, Larry Lieber!
