Riassunto:

Collects PETER PARKER, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #67-79. THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN hits high gear! Writer Bill Mantlo crafted a compelling, interwoven series of adventures in his second tenure on the title. Pairing Spidey with the Black Cat as both partner and love interest, Mantlo fused the crime drama of the Kingpin with larger-than-life villains like Doctor Octopus - and the formula made SPECTACULAR a page-turning powerhouse! It begins when the Kingpin hires Boomerang, the killer who keeps coming back. Meanwhile, Cloak and Dagger wage war on drugs as the gangster Silvermane clings to life in a new cyborg body! And when Doctor Octopus and the Owl vie to take over New York's criminal underworld, total war breaks out across the city! See why "The Owl/Octopus War" is a saga that ranks among Spider-Man's greatest!

Informazioni sull'autore: Bill Mantlo began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, in which he introduced White Tiger, one of the industry’s earliest Hispanic super heroes. Eventually writing stories for almost every Marvel title, he did some of his most fondly remembered work on Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man. He also launched Cloak and Dagger in a pair of miniseries and guided Alpha Flight through some of its most harrowing ordeals. Mantlo excelled at integrating licensed properties into the Marvel Universe, as demonstrated by Micronauts and Rom: Spaceknight, both of which he wrote from start to finish. At DC, he wrote the Invasion miniseries for one of the company’s biggest crossover events.

Al Milgrom, A.K.A. “Editori-Al,” is renowned as writer, editor, penciler and inker — and held most of those positions on Spectacular Spider-Man. He also contributed to SSM’s sibling Amazing Spider-Man. He penciled West Coast Avengers for four years and inked X-Factor for eight. His artwork has also appeared in Avengers, Captain America, Thor and most X-titles, including the classic Kitty Pryde and Wolverine. As editor, he oversaw Marvel’s Epic imprint and the 60-issue run of Marvel Fanfare, where his satirical self-portraits made his face as recognizable as any super hero’s mask. At DC, he co-created Firestorm the Nuclear Man with Gerry Conway.

Ed Hannigan’s Marvel cover art spanned an array of titles and genres: Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, Daredevil, Marvel Team-Up, Rom: Spaceknight, Thor, Weird Wonder Tales and more. He took over the first Black Panther series from Jack Kirby himself; when the book was canceled, Hannigan continued Panther’s storyline in Marvel Premiere. On Defenders, he wrote some issues, penciled others, and provided both script and art for more. At DC, he drew covers for Batman, Detective Comics, World’s Finest and other titles, also writing and drawing miniseries League of Justice and Skull and Bones.
