Marvel’s first Archive Edition collection features the first year of Spider-Man’s adoption of his new black costume.
The Marvel Archive Edition: Amazing Spider-Man-The Black Costume Year One collects The Amazing Spider-Man #252-263 by Roger Stern, Tom DeFalco, Ron Frenz, Rick Leonardi, Bob Layton, Brett Breeding, Bill Anderson, Joe Rubinstein, Carlos Garzon, and John Beatty.
The new Marvel Archive hardcover format is the same size as the Marvel Gallery Editions (9.6″ x 13″), but the Archive version also contains all of the original ads, letter pages, and extras included in the original comics.
The often collected stories in the first Marvel Archive Edition focus on Peter Parker getting used to his new symbiotic suit following Secret Wars (which will be the second Marvel Archive Edition released in September), including appearances by the Rose, the Puma, the Black Cat, the Fantastic Four, the Hobgoblin and Mary Jane Watson.
Marvel Archive Edition: Amazing Spider-Man-The Black Costume Year One consists of 488 pages for a suggested retail price of $125.00.
The Marvel Archive Edition: Amazing Spider-Man-The Black Costume Year One comes in your choice of three covers by Frenz and Klaus Janson, Frenz and Joe Rubinstein (comic shop variant), and Charles Vess (comic shop “Hidden Gem” version).
