{"product_id":"9780143135739","title":"The Amazing Spider-Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.   This anthology contains twelve key stories from the first two years of Spider-Man's publication history (from 1962 to 1964). These influential adventures not only transformed the super hero fantasy into an allegory for the pain of adolescence but also brought a new ethical complexity to the genre-by insisting that with great power there must also come great responsibility.   A foreword by Jason Reynolds and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of The Amazing Spider-Man and classic Marvel comics.   The Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-colour art throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45458381340893,"sku":"9780143135739","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780143135739.jpg?v=1719947680","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780143135739","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
