Another essential Bronze Age Spidey collection is coming in 2024…

You can never have too early a head start: Marvel is planning another important Bronze Age Spider-Man Epic Collection — for May 2024.

Details are scarce — it’s not even on Amazon yet — but check out the basics, thanks to the fine folks at the Epic Marvel Podcast:

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN EPIC COLLECTION: BIG APPLE BATTLEGROUND

Collecting:

— Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #165-185

— Amazing Spider-Man Annual (1964) #11-12

— Nova (1977) #12

— Marvel Calendar 1978

— Plus, material from Marvel Treasury Edition (1974) #14 and FOOM (1973) #17-18, 22

Several thoughts:

— There’s no exact release date or price yet, but if the Epic Marvel Podcast reports an Epic Collection is coming, you can bank on it. This is their forte.

— The cover has not been released yet, so the above cover is a placeholder. Still, I expect the final imagery to be drawn from it.

— I am really looking forward to this one and Spider-Man or Spider-Clone, coming in July 2023. I have read everything up to Issue #142, so I eagerly await extending that personal run. The book is mostly a Len Wein/Ross Andru joint, but the start of Marv Wolfman’s run also begins here — including Peter Parker’s college graduation in Issue #185.

— I do have the 1978 Marvel Calendar and it features terrific art. It’s all Spidey and it’s cool to see it included. Plus, FOOM!
