One of the greatest eras in Spider-Man history begins in this Amazing Epic Collection! Roger Stern and John Romita Jr. joined the Spidey-creator hall of fame with their run, taking the web- spinner to new heights while recapturing the compelling tone and character-driven focus that made Spider-Man world famous.

Jonah Jameson an even bigger pain that ever before. Arguably their paramount achievement was introducing the thrilling mystery of the Hobgoblin, showing in these pages how he’s one of the most threatening villains Spider-Man would ever face. All this and the first appearance of Monica Rambeau, A.K.A. Captain Marvel!
