The tangled web of vengeance, love, and loss woven by Spider-Man comics and films is explored in this collection of insightful essays by acclaimed writers of comics and science fiction. A variety of topics from the superhero’s sarcasm to the science behind radioactive spiders are discussed in essays on "Turning Rage into Responsibility: A Psychology of Loss," "Love Is Selfish: Can a Hero Afford Personal Attachments?," and "Self Identity and Costume Design." The popular rival Green Goblin, the bumbling-yet-influential media, and the part New York City itself plays in stories are skillfully explored, as is the overall philosophy of mild-mannered Peter Parker and Spidey’s relationship with the rest of the characters in the Marvel universe.

From School Library Journal:
Adult/High School—Why is Spider-Man cooler than Superman? Was the original Spider-Man really a horror comic? Does the Webslinger have a religion? What was life like in Forest Hills, Queens, when Peter Parker lived there at the time of the first comic book series? What really makes Spider-Man click with readers and viewers across the years? These are just some of the questions tackled by 16 writers of comics and science fiction in this book on all things Spider-Man: psychology, philosophy, comic book history, movies, and more. Most of the essays assume a deep interest in (and sometimes detailed knowledge of) Spider-Man lore. For this reason, they will appeal primarily to his avid fans, although fans of comics and movies in general may also find this nicely crafted and accessible collection fun and thought-provoking.—Sandy Freund, Patrick Henry Library, Fairfax County, VA
