Spider-Man collected editions


The Marvel Comics character Spider-Man first appeared in 1962 in Amazing Fantasy #15. Creator Stan Lee said the idea came from a "desire to create a character with whom teens could identify".
The character's various appearances have been collated into thousands of trade paperback, hardcover and omnibus collections.

Collected editions by era

The core title for Spider-Man has been The Amazing Spider-Man, since the title's launch in 1963. After issue #1's launch in January, the book was released monthly.
Marvel's first attempt at chronologically collecting the core title was in 1987, with the Marvel Masterworks premium hardcover line, which reprinted 10-12 comics per book.
The next attempt was the Essential Marvel line, which reproduced comics in black and white. These books were released from 1996 to 2013, before being replaced by full-color [|Epic Collection]s.
Other than these two series, many other issues have been republished in collected form.

Volume 1 (1962–1998)

Creator Stan Lee wrote the first 110 issues of Spider-Man, initially with Steve Ditko, then with John Romita Sr. before being replaced by Gerry Conway. Then just 19, Conway delivered "some of the boldest stories of the era", including "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" and "The Goblin's Last Stand".
By the mid-1990s, Spider-Man was in the midst of the "worst era in the character’s history”. The Clone Saga was a crossover event "involving five titles: The Amazing Spider-Man; Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man; Spider-Man; Web of Spider-Man; and Spider-Man Unlimited. It also included Giant-Size books, one-shots, and others, leaving most readers unable to follow the story."
The storyline dominated multiple titles for two years and involved Ben Reilly replacing Peter Parker as the titular character.
As well as the below, the full run of Volume 1 is being reprinted through Marvel's Epic Collection line.

Volume 2 (1998–2013)

After relaunching in November 1998, Volume 2 of The Amazing Spider-Man was dominated by six years of J. Michael Straczynski and then 10 years of Dan Slott.
The One More Day story arc saw Peter Parker lose Mary Jane from his life, before a three times-a-month Brand New Day relaunch. Despite criticism of the change in direction, writer Slott said: "I see a lot of online fans out there saying that 20 years of continuity have been wiped. And that's so not the case. This isn't a 'Crisis' or a reboot."
As well as the below, the full run of Volume 2 is being reprinted through Marvel's Modern Era Epic Collection line.

''The Superior Spider-Man'' (2013–2014)

Superior Spider-Man launched in 2013, with writer Dan Slott; and artists Ryan Stegman, Humberto Ramos and Giuseppe Camuncoli. It followed the apparent death of Peter Parker, with the mind of Otto Octavius taking over Parker's body.

Volume 3 (2014–2015)

Following the conclusion of Superior Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man was relaunched with a new No.1 and Peter Parker back as the titular character. Dan Slott continued as writer and insisted that he wouldn't be undoing anything that had gone before. "If we woke up in a world where J. Jonah Jameson was in the Bugle, and Peter Parker was taking pictures for a living, and Aunt May was in the hospital, I would shoot myself," he told Comic Book Resources. "It's the ongoing story of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. His life moves forward.
"The cool thing is, I get to write the Spider-Man that Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created, that John Romita Sr. worked on, Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, Roger Stern -- everybody adds to the tapestry, and it's kind of fun to be the current guy in the line."

Volume 4 (2015–2018)

Marvel Comics relaunched their entire line in 2015, offering something "All-New, All-Different". Dan Slott remained the Spider-Man writer, but promised a new suit and a new global company for Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide. He told MTV: “Peter Parker has stepped up. He’s grown. He’s become the Peter Parker we’ve always hoped he was going to be. This company, with Peter’s inventions and Peter’s gumption has gone to new heights.”

Volume 5 (2018–2022)

After Dan Slott's run on Spider-Man, the series was relaunched in 2018, with Nick Spencer as writer and Ryan Ottley as penciller.
Spencer said: "A lot of what I'll be doing is reconnecting Peter with some very classic, quintessential elements of the story that fans and readers are going to recognize. It's exciting to bring the character back to basics." He added that the book would provide a "fun, funny, human character-driven story".

Volume 6 (2022–2025)

Spider-Man was relaunched in 2022, with Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr. A Marvel press release said: "Wells and Romita Jr.'s run will bring all of the classic elements fans love, along with surprising new takes on classic supervillains from Spider-Man's rogues gallery."

Volume 7 (2025–present)

April 2025 saw The Amazing Spider-Man relaunched with a new number one for the sixth time in 12 years. Joe Kelly continued his run from the previous volume, and was joined by pencillers Pepe Larraz and John Romita, Jr.
