Stunning visuals literally jump off the pages as readers flip through "The Amazing Spider-Man Pop-Up" book. Released as the forerunner in the four book, True Believers Retro Character Collection from Marvel Comics and Candlewick Press, Spider-Man and his famous villains leap to life with every turn of the page.

Comic books collectors young and old will be scrambling to get their hands on this highly collectible book. Vintage comic scenes and descriptive bio's on all the major players will please the old-time spidey fan while informing the new. The book takes the reader through Peter Parker's transformation to Spider-Man and also highlights his seven deadliest foes, including Dr. Ock, Mysterio and Sandman.

Designed by Andy Mansfield and Published by Candlewick Press, this book is sure to be hit with Spider-Man fans everywhere. The hard cover of the book and the durability of the pages make this book suitable the younger web head fans as is recommended on the book (ages 5 and up).

On a side note, my four-year-old fell in love with this book. An avid Spider-Man fan, he was thrilled as he turned every page albeit sometimes a little rough. Luckily the strength of this book withstood his excitement and mine. Truly a great start to what is going to be a series with strong collectability.
