Essential Spider-Man - Volume 11
"Many have tried to replicate it, but nothing beats ['The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man'] .... This touching story is so powerful, it is one of the best Spider-Man stories ever." --comicsbackissues.com"This volume shows the series in one of its best periods. The writing and art complement each other well, whilst the stories put both Spider-Man and Peter through a quite diverse range of situations without  once stepping into the ridiculous ... this is definitely one of the best runs in Spider-Man's history." --Tim Roll-Pickering"Roger Stern is a spider-writer near and dear to my heart. I can pretty much recite these issues word for word.The Cobra and Mr. Hyde 2-parter in 231-232 is godlike. When it comes to great Spider-Man artists ... make mine Romita![But] the crown jewel of Stern's run on this title has to be the Hobgoblin. I remember the thrill of stumbling onto this new villain, and thoroughly enjoyed watching the saga unfold over the next several years. Stern restores the Vulture as a force to be reckoned with, and he restores Spider-Man himself ..." --Kris Shaw"This is the best volume in ages. The team of Roger Stern and John Romita Jr. is excellent." -- Mitch Romig
