Calling all Spider-Man fans - this is a gorgeous, giftable, and super legit coffee table book. *Technically* a surprise for my husband (here’s hoping he’s not pouring over these product listings, haha), this book contains the first 21 Spider-Man stories.

It starts with the 1962 origin in Amazing Fantasy #15 (and goes through the opening run of Amazing Spider-Man), and it’s all Stan Lee writing and Steve Ditko drawing. Which means, btw, that the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, the Lizard, Electro and J. Jonah Jameson all show up here for the first time.

Also!!! Instead of re-coloring the old art, TASCHEN borrowed pristine copies of the actual comics, photographed every page (at a very high resolution), then cleaned up only printing flaws. They then developed a special paper designed to feel like old comic paper. So what we’re looking at is a collection that looks - and feels! - basically the same as what a kid in the 60’s would’ve gotten at a newsstand. There’s also some essays, original art boards and random ephemera. It’s so freaking good.
