Foreword by comic book legend Stan Lee, creator of Spider-Man and founder of Marvel comics. Over 600 full-color images, some of which have been specially commissioned.
It is full of information and colorful illustrations. The book covers the history of Spider-Man as the character and his world have developed in the comic books. Included in the book's artwork are reproductions of many comic book covers spanning decades of Spider-Man's history.
The book includes information about Peter Parker, his family and friends, Spider-Man's origin and fantastic abilities, and Spider-Man's allies. Topics such as Spider-Girl and Spider-Man 2099 are also covered. A great deal of space is devoted to the many supervillains faced by Spidey over the decades: the Vulture, Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, Mysterio, Silver Sable, Venom, Carnage, and many more. Also fascinating is the book's coverage of important storylines such as the history of Spider-man's clone.
