The essential piece Spider-Man movie merchendise
This is a fantastic book that gives the reader a thorough and enthusiastic guide to how the Spidey movie evolved from an idea in Stan Lee's head back in the early 60's to the multimedia sensation the wallcrawler is today to the finishing of the motion picture. Crammed full of awesome, full-colour pictures and interviews with the cast and crew, and loads, of course, about the vital special effects techniques used to bring Spidey and the Green Goblin to life. The movie will be amazing, and this book is the ultimate guide. A must for fans.
