8.1/10

Ο απίθανος Spider-Man, ο άνθρωπος αράχνη, ίσως ο πιο εμβληματικός υπερήρωας στην ιστορία της Marvel.
Μετά την επιτυχία του MCU ( κινηματογραφικού σύμπαντος της Marvel ) πολύ γνωρίζουν ονόματα διαφόρων υπερηρώων, που μέχρι και πριν λίγα χρόνια ήταν άγνωστα στο ευρύ κοινό. Το ίδιο όμως δεν ισχύει και για τον Spider-Man. Όπως ο Batman και ο Superman έτσι και ο αραχνάκιας ήτανε ανέκαθεν γνωστός.

Στο 'Δυναμη και ευθύνη' βλέπουμε τη "γέννηση" του ανθρώπου αράχνη και τις πρώτες περιπέτειες του. Οι ιστορίες αν και γραμμένες πολλά χρόνια πριν, έχουν πολλά στοιχεία που έχουν αντέξει το πέρασμα του χρόνου.
Ο Peter δυσκολεύεται να ισορροπήσει τη ζωή του, καθώς από τη μια προσπαθεί να βοηθήσει οικονομικά στο σπίτι τη θεία του, και από την άλλη έχει να αντιμετωπίσει υπερεγκληματιες ως Spider-Man.

Σίγουρα καλή επιλογή για τους λάτρεις της 9ης τέχνης, καθώς έχουμε την πρώτη εμφάνιση όχι μόνο του Spider-Man αλλά και κάποιων από τους πιο σημαντικούς villains των comic books.

Το εξώφυλλο δεν μου άρεσε καθόλου. Θα μπορούσαν να επιλέξουν κάτι άλλο, για παράδειγμα το αχρησιμοποίητο original cover του Ditko για το Amazing fantasy #15.

Η σειρά που ξεκίνησε πέρσι με αυτόν τον πρώτο τόμο απ' τη RadNet θεωρώ ότι είναι ένα πολύ θετικό (και καλοδεχούμενο, για εμένα τουλάχιστον) εγχείρημα για την Ελλάδα.

Από άποψη ποσότητας ύλης, οι πρώτες ιστορίες με πρωταγωνιστή τον Spider-Man, αποτελούν ένα εξαιρετικό και άκρως "χορταστικό" ξεκίνημα.

Το μόνο αρνητικό που βρήκα είναι τα αρκετά λάθη που υπάρχουν, είτε ορθογραφικά, είτε το ότι λείπουν κάποια γράμματα ή κενά ανάμεσα σε λέξεις. Αλλά θέλω να πιστεύω ότι στα επόμενα τεύχη θα έχει γίνει πιο προσεκτική δουλειά σ' αυτόν τον τομέα.

Θα μιλήσω για την ελληνική έκδοση που ξεκίνησε πρόσφατα και όχι τόσο για τις ιστορίες που περιέχονται, μιας και είναι γνωστές. Το format είναι καλό, με ωραίο μέγεθος, χαρτί κλπ., αλλά έχει γίνει πολύ κακή επιμέλεια. Ορθογραφικά λάθη, ενωμένες/κομμένες λέξεις, λεζάντες που ξέχασαν να μεταφραστούν και άλλα τέτοια ωραία. Αυτό το κομμάτι πρέπει να προσεχτεί στο μέλλον.

Grazie a questo volume comprato in edicola ho potuto assaporare le prime avventure originali dell'Uomo Ragno ed è una goduria assoluta. Se amate, come me, Spider-Man, non potete perdere questo primo numero.

A fun dive into the origins of Spider-Man, collecting the first five issues of "The Amazing Spider-Man" with Spidey's very first appearance (Amazing Fantasy #15) which is my favorite issue in this volume, followed by issue #4 (Sandman). It's quite amazing how every issue managed to introduce a major villain, let alone the omnipresence of J. Jonah Jameson; Spider-Man's greatest enemy. My ultimate favorite bits were Jameson's obsession with Spider-Man and Spider-Man's obsession with money.

Good stories and drawings. The dialogue is a little dated.

[María Ferre · Rating 3 out of 5]

¿Cómo nació Spiderman, uno de los superhéroes más queridos de todos los tiempos? Pues bien, fue hace alrededor de unos 60 años ya y la verdad es que era algo distinto al Spiderman (¿Spider-Man? Ni Marvel se aclara) que conocemos ahora.
Me ha encantado la experimentar el nacimiento de este personaje al que tanto quiero como si fuera la primera vez que lo veo. Tanto el estilo, como el formato, la narrativa, el guión e incluso el color son completamente opuestos a lo que encontramos hoy en día, pero, lo que más llama la atención es cómo el Peter Parker de los 60 y el Peter Parker de la actualidad difieren tanto el uno del otro. Es obvio que el de ahora tiene mucho refinamiento por parte de todos los escritores y dibujantes que han trabajado con él y lo han convertido en lo que es, pero hay algo en el Peter original que me llama la atención y es su moral inicial. Todos conocemos la buena moral de nuestro Spidey, pero, en el principio de su carrera, no tenía nada que ver con esta; se caracterizaba por un afán de conseguir dinero para ayudar a tía May, costara lo que costase, y no quería ni oler su posición como superhéroe. Conforme avanzan las historietas, vemos como Peter va tomando conciencia de quien es en realidad, pero le cuesta. Muy diferente de Miles Morales, por ejemplo, quien acepta su destino como superhéroe casi al instante.
Hay muchas más cosas que comentar sobre estos primeros números de Spiderman, pero, si realmente os gusta mucho el personaje, sugiero que no se me haga caso y los leáis por vuestra cuenta; son una verdadera experiencia.

É nostalgico e muito interessante conhecer as primeiras histórias do Homem Aranha, de uma forma inocente e pueril. Gostei bastante dos desenhos clássicos.

I really enjoyed this! I have had a soft spot for Spider-Man for a long time--I grew up reading some Spider-Man comics, really loved the old Spider-Man cartoon from the 1990s, thought the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon was great, and have faithfully watched all of the movies--and I love the Japanese Spider-Man, too!

So finally, finally, I read the original ten comics--even going back to read the first ten comics in Fantastic Four to give myself context because they had a lot of crossover in the early days. I thought it was interesting that Spidey tried to join FF early on, since eventually he actually did join that group.

I enjoyed seeing how Spidey's smart mouth developed over time--he wasn't very prone to it at first.

I thought it was funny that one issue his name randomly changed to Peter Palmer!

I enjoyed seeing how Spidey's spider-sense was originally much more flexible. Pete could use the power to track down baddies, and he could baddies could develop machines that somehow send MESSAGES through his spider-sense (because apparently it's a scientific thing).

Oh! And Uncle Ben never says "With great power comes great responsibility"!!!! That was just a line by the narrator! That surprised me, too.

Who was the first supervillain Spidey faced? Chameleon, of all things! (The FF faced the Skrulls I think in their second issue, so similar.) Also we get the origins of the Vulture, Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, a random robot computer, Sandman, Electro, and a group called the Enforcers! Plus he fights the Human Torch and Doctor Doom.

The baddies definitely had less... depth to them at this early date, but it was still tons of fun to read. For some reason I also didn't realize that briefly Pete dated Betty Brant.

Anyway, I want to read more! Thinking about reading the vast array of SM comics is kind of overwhelming, but it would be fun to at least read a few more volumes. Excelsior!

It was such a fun to read the first stories of Spider-man, which really exceeded my expectations. A real amusement.

El primer comic de superheroes que leo en mi vida y debo decir que me gustó bastante. Fue una lectura muy llevadera. Las historias son muy simpáticas y uno no puede no reirse un poco de las situaciones en las que se ve envuelto Peter.

Me encanta como los cómics han cambiado con los años, como la diferencia narrativa y de ilustración es tan distinta a la actual.
grande Stan Lee, Steve Ditko y Jack Kirby (el fue de los 4fantasticos pero dibujo uno de los tomos de spidy)

[Michael Schluter]

Interesting to read the first ever stories of the Amazing Spider-Man. Also of note, that for about two or three issues, they called his alter-ego Peter Palmer.

It’s amazing how well these comics have held up. And how much of the Spider-Man mythos was introduced in the first handful of issues.

una ristampa a dir poco sublime e perfetta! l'unica cosa che ho apprezzato poco è stato il formato forse troppo grande

Wszystkie te klasyczne komiksy Marvela są proste i infantylne, ale akurat te ze Spider-Manem czyta się bardzo przyjemnie, a rysunki są bardzo fajne.

Una grata sorpresa la lectura de este cómics, que a pesar de tener más de 60 años en el cuerpo derrocha frescura. Totalmente recomendado.

Se celebran este tipo de coleccionables pero si no solucionan la traducción de los artículos ya se van a ir por las cloacas.

[Liedzeit Liedzeit · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first volume of a new editions that will give us all the great Marvel works. It was only four Euros and I could not resist buying it. Although it is a German translation. And this a problem.

Right on the first page a guy says about Peter that the bookworm wouldn’t know a Cha-Cha from a Waltz. The translator gives us „Der Bücherwurm kann sicher nicht einmal tanzen“. Meaning the bookworm can’t dance. At least Bookworm is translated correctly. On the next page we get Eierkopf (egghead) instead of bookworm. Then “Get our regards to the Atom-Smashers” becomes “Grüss mir die Atome” which is not even the same sense. Is it important? I think it is. Especially since on the Editorial page they rave about the prose of Stan Lee. One final example:

“A Spider whom fate has given a starring, if brief, role to play in the Drama called life.” You do not have to like it, but this is Lee prose. “Diese Spinne spielt eine kurze, aber wichtige Rolle in unserer Geschichte.” (This spider plays a brief but important role in our story.)

The guy responsible for the “translation” is Michael Strittmatter.

The printing is fine the background information at least acceptable. The stories themselves are, to tell the truth, only great because of what they once meant for us, when we were kids. I have no problem with a man who can climb up walls or an old guy with wings who can fly. (In fact the vulture is great.) But some stupid aliens who give up their conquering attempt just because a Spider-Man comes across? Well.

I would love to reread the first adventures in Hardcover. But not with this translation.

Um mergulho nostálgico no início do que viria a ser o influente universo Marvel, com os primeiros passos de Stan Lee e Steve Ditko na criação daquele que se iria tornar um dos personagens seminais do universo dos comics. Vindo dos anos 60, a fórmula está lá - super-heróis com um forte lado humano, por vezes desconcertante e desajeitado. É o que torna Spider Man popular, não o herói em si, mas o tímido e focado Peter Parker, com todas as suas agruras de adolescente, a equilibrar vida familiar, escola e rejeições sociais, enquanto oculta o seu alter-ego de herói. No fundo, e isto é muito óbvio de observar, o trunfo da Marvel foi ter sabido sublimar as pulsões e sentimentos dos adolescentes no ambiente ficcional dos comics. Esta edição colige as cinco primeiras aventuras do personagem, que estabeleceram a sua base e principais inimigos.
