Join acclaimed tale-spinner Kurt Busiek, the legendary scribe of MARVELS, as he delves into the past once more to weave an intricate web of “lost” stories from Peter Parker’s earliest days as the Amazing Spider-Man! First, Peter must come to terms with his Uncle Ben’s death — and learn how best to honor his memory — as he takes his first fledgling steps as a crimefighter!
    Then, swing along with Spidey for a series of untold gems, as the newly minted Spider-Man encounters the Human Torch, Doctor Octopus, the Vulture, Sandman and more classic characters — along with new friends and foes including Batwing, Bluebird and the Scorcher — on his way to becoming Marvel’s premiere super hero! But what are the shocking secrets of Peter’s first love, Betty Brant?
    COLLECTING: Amazing Fantasy (1995) 16-18, Untold Tales of Spider-Man (1995) 1-14


In an Omnibus extravaganza that covers the entire run of writer Michael Fleisher’s two years on CONAN THE BARBARIAN, artist John Buscema turns in page after page of iconic artwork — often inked by the great Ernie Chan and by Big John himself! Buscema also takes a turn as plotter, helping bring to life a series of exciting stories featuring Conan opposite some of his most mysterious foes and an old friend: The scheming Jergal Zadh, the magic-wielding Alhambra, the conniving Baron Vjerzak and Conan’s old comrade Fafnir! Plus: two mighty Annuals — one pitting Conan against an ancient mystical menace and the other against a god — and a classic issue of WHAT IF? that asks the question: what if Conan was stranded in the 20th century?
    COLLECTING: Conan the Barbarian (1970) 150-171, Conan the Barbarian Annual (1973) 8-9, What If? (1977) 43
