A great hardcover book I recently got is Spider-Man: The Icon by Steve Saffel. And though I’ve not read any other books by him, he did a great job. I could tell: He either is a big Spidey fan, or he did a lot of research on the subject. Though, I figure it’s a combination of both.

You know how sometimes you read a book, and you could tell the author really didn’t know the subject and that he was probably just writing it for a paycheck?

Not here. I could tell Steve knows his stuff and he got those little details there, that makes me know this guy is a big fan.

It covers everything from his origins, the comic books, the media, the action figures. It really is an encyclopedia of Spider-Man history. So if you haven’t seen it, it is worth checking out.

Spider-Man The Icon by Steve Saffel, great book! I give it 4 out of 4 stars.
