The Marvel Comics character Spider-Man (the mantle assumed by Peter Parker and various others) first appeared in 1962 in Amazing Fantasy #15. The character's various appearances have been collated into thousands of trade paperback, hardcover and omnibus collections.
Collected editions by era The core title for Spider-Man has been The Amazing Spider-Man, since the title's launch in 1963. After issue #1's launch in January, the book was released monthly.
Marvel's first attempt at chronologically collecting the core title was in 1987, with the Marvel Masterworks premium hardcover line, which reprinted 10-12 comics per book.
The next attempt was the Essential Marvel line, which reproduced comics in black and white. These books were released from 1996 to 2013, before being replaced by full-color Epic Collections.
Other than these two series, many other issues have been republished in collected form.
Volume 1 (1962–1998) Stan Lee wrote the first 110 issues of Spider-Man, initially with co-creator, plotter & artist Steve Ditko through issue 38, then with John Romita Sr. before being replaced by Gerry Conway. Then just 19, Conway delivered "some of the boldest stories of the era", including "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" and "The Goblin's Last Stand".
By the mid-1990s, Spider-Man was in the midst of the "worst era in the character’s history”. The Clone Saga was a crossover event "involving five titles: The Amazing Spider-Man; Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man; Spider-Man; Web of Spider-Man; and Spider-Man Unlimited. It also included Giant-Size books, one-shots, and others, leaving most readers unable to follow the story."
The storyline dominated multiple titles for two years and involved Ben Reilly replacing Peter Parker as the titular character.
As well as the below, the full run of Volume 1 is being reprinted through Marvel's Epic Collection line.
