It’s prime time in the Marvel Universe with Chris Claremont, John Byrne and the Amazing Spider-Man! That’s right, before they created the definitive X-Men, Claremont and Byrne were spinning tales with the web-slinger. The historic Spidey exploits they have in store in this Marvel Masterworks edition boast: Captain Britain’s introduction to the Marvel U. proper; the first appearance of Arcade; the scintillating Tigra and the malodorous Man-Thing; a two-part tale that revives the Living Monolith and co-stars X-Men Havok and Polaris; and an encounter with Luke Cage and New York’s Bravest. Also featured are a mystic turn with Doctor Strange and Clea featuring the return of the Silver Dagger, adventures Cap, Iron Man and Daredevil and a bevy of bonus material including cover art from Marvel Tales!
