This is a truly charming comic by two creators having a fun time putting the book together, and that fun sensibility is absolutely infectious. Busiek and Olliffe`s work on the series is extremely strong, as it was extremely new reader friendly, and yet still quite enjoyable for the more hardcore Spider-Man. 'You may not find another collection of 90s Spider-Man stories that is as much fun as Busiek's Untold Tales of Spider-Man. 'Busiek's and Olliffe's level of reference to these older comics treads that fine line between respect and reverence-it's not weighted down with clever-clever callbacks to obscure one-off characters, but there's enough there for those who've read the original run to recognize and a genuine sense of warmth and familiarity from the creators for a much-loved period in American comics.' - Paul X. This is basically a retcon rather than a reboot, but it adds to the original stories rather than undoing them.' - John Kirk 'You almost need spider-strength to lift this book, but it's worth the effort. This collection is a gorgeous omnibus, well worth standing on a Spider-Man fan's bookshelf.' - Adam Chapman For fans that already have the now-out-of-print Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Volume 1, this book is an excellent companion piece. 'This is an expensive collection, but one that is well worth the cover price. The series is much beloved by fans for its unique structure and authentic feel, and its latter issues have never been previously reprinted.' - KC Carlson 'Untold Tales of Spider-Man, primarily written by Kurt Busiek, was a very detailed attempt to tell brand-new Spider-Man stories which fit in exactly around (and occasionally within) the original 1960s Amazing Spider-Man stories produced by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
