Great resource for Spidey fans

A great resourse for Spidey fans, you can find out about the villians that Spidey have fought, the heroes he worked with, the supporting characters of the Spider-man comic, it will have a bio, and the stats (strength, speed, durability, intellegence, fighting skills, and energy projection) of each character. You can even read about the Spider-man movies, television, cartoons, and toys. A must have for all Spider-man fans, you'll enjoy it, believe me.

So Great

As a Spider-Man fan, I loved this book. It has everything a Spider-Man fan needs to know. So I would give this a 5 star book. Read it! Edward Park

(Mostly) Spectacular Spider-Man Factbase

An informative read, this book contains a highly ambitious study of past characters/cross-overs in the Spider-Man realm from 1963 to 2002. The textual chapters, however, are written in a rather trite form, filled with annoying, smarmy pop-culture references seemingly aimed (and misfiring) at younger audiences. And yet, these chapters are mercifully brief, and not the real grabber for the book.

This Book Is GREAT!!!!!

At first, when i saw the cover of this book, i thought that it was a book suitable for a five year old but once i opened the book, I knew that i was wrong. This book was filled with facts about your friendly neighborhood spider-man and many of his allies and foes such as Venom, the Vulture, Dr. Octopus, The Lizard, and many many more. This book is great for all ages and is a great to read whenever you want. If you are a spider-man fan, you must buy this book.

Fun read

Spider-man Marvel Encyclopedia: Is a great find for any Spider-Man or fan of comics. I was alittle afraid that it would be likke the last one The Hulk Encyclopedia" so at frist I was scared to waste my money on it. But I was surpised and shocked how great the book is. It's far better than the last three. A must have for any fan!!!
