The Amazing Spider-Man: Coming Home, J. Michael Straczynski & John Romita Jr. — Special Edition

Publication: London, Hachette Partworks Ltd, 2012

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 160.

Condition Report: Very Good. The publisher's original pictorial boards remain solid and structurally sound, with the binding square and tight. The glossy finish to the covers exhibits moderate surface rubbing and several superficial scratches, most notably to the rear panel where they catch the light, though the artwork itself remains vibrant and unmarred. The spine ends are crisp without significant bumping, and the joints are perfectly secure. Internally, save for a minor, faint handling smudge to the front free endpaper, the pages are bright, completely clean, and free of any tears, creases, or foxing, presenting a highly readable, complete copy.

Catalogue Note: This is a special hardcover edition of The Amazing Spider-Man: Coming Home, published in 2012 by Hachette Partworks as volume 21 of their widely popular Ultimate Graphic Novels Collection. This edition collects issues #30-35 of The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2), bringing together the defining early 2000s narrative crafted by J. Michael Straczynski with the dynamic artwork of John Romita Jr.

While these Hachette editions were produced in substantial numbers for the UK subscription market, they remain highly sought-after reading copies for Marvel enthusiasts owing to their sturdy hardcover format and the inclusion of supplementary editorial material. Unjacketed as issued, the volume features J. Scott Campbell's iconic cover art reproduced directly on the boards.

Throughout his life, Peter Parker has fought to balance his immense responsibilities with the isolation they bring, struggling to find anyone who truly understands the burden of being Spider-Man. That is until a mysterious, older figure named Ezekiel suddenly appears, effortlessly matching Peter's spider-like abilities and confronting him with a profound question regarding the true, totemic nature of his origin. As Peter grapples with the possibility that his powers were destined rather than accidental, a terrifying, ancient adversary arrives in America to hunt him down. In Coming Home, writer J. Michael Straczynski redefines the Spider-Man mythos, delivering a deeply personal and relentlessly action-packed narrative that pushes Peter Parker to his physical limits.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
