By Goblin Last week's books had some nifty art to gaze upon, but the cover to Amazing Spider-Man #578 really took the cake.

I’ve always been a sucker for the classic Marvel characters, as portrayed in their infancy by the likes of Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, and the rest of the Silver Age Marvel crew. But no character has intrigued me more than Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man. That’s why I had to check out Marvel’s recent 5-issue miniseries, Spider-Man: With Great Power.

By Alan Kistler GREG WEISMAN: When I got the job, I went and bought the first seven volumes of The Essential Spider-Man and re-read them. I’d read them as a kid, I grew up on Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr. and later went back and read the original Stan Lee, Steve Ditko stories. So, I re-read them and took copious not...

By Richard von Busack Beside this, it seems that Sam Raimi is trying to channel certain silent movie ideas in his Spider-Man series.
