Their collaboration on
Spider-Man couldn't endure indefinitely, but Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's incredible partnership did persist for a significant five-year period, allowing their character to transform into an enduring icon and cultivate a fan base that would span generations.
Taschen's second volume of Amazing Spider-Man tales compiles the latter portion of this dynamic duo's grand work, introducing new formidable foes like the Scorpion, Molten Man, and the Crime-Master, revisiting conflicts with Kraven the Hunter and the Green Goblin, and showcasing the memorable three-part "Master Planner Saga" that rekindled a rivalry with an enigmatic, iconic villain, ultimately leaving behind what many experts in the world of comics consider to be the greatest superhero narrative of all time.
