Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale: Spider-Man

One of the most moving Spider-Man stories of all time, revisiting his early days by legendary creative team Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale!

＂It’s about remembering someone so important to me I was going to spend the rest of my life with her.＂ What Peter Parker didn’t know was that Gwen Stacy would only get to spend the rest of her life with him. This is the story of how they fell in love -- or, more appropriately, how they almost didn’t! Spider-Man’s been unmasked by the Green Goblin himself -- now it’s Spidey’s turn to do the unmasking. To get the girl of his dreams, Peter must run a gauntlet of the Goblin, the Rhino, the Lizard, two Vultures, and a mysterious man in the shadows controlling it all. But will the biggest hurdle of all be Mary Jane Watson?
