Marvel Comics

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 3 keeps the original run moving from the late Stan Lee period into Roy Thomas, with John Romita Sr. and Gil Kane shaping Peter Parker's world. It is a transitional volume: campus life, romance, villains and Marvel New York all keep expanding around Spider-Man.

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 2 moves the original series into the John Romita Sr. era, where Peter Parker's world becomes brighter, more romantic and more socially tangled. Mary Jane Watson steps fully onto the stage, the Kingpin arrives, and Spider-Man's supporting cast starts to feel like a living Marvel soap opera.
