Summary

This volume is Volume 51 of the Chinese collection of Amazing Spider-Man, corresponding to issue 51 of the original English series The Amazing Spider-Man, written by Stan Lee and drawn by John Romita, and is one of the representative stories of Marvel's Silver Age Spider-Man series. This volume revolves around a power shift in New York's underworld. Spider-Man has vanished for a time, and the Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk, seizes the opportunity to consolidate the various gangs and set off a wave of organized crime. Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson fiercely attacks these gangsters in his editorials, and the Kingpin sees him as a thorn that must be removed, so he orders Jameson kidnapped. Meanwhile, reporter Frederick Foswell falls into the Kingpin's hands; after weighing his options, the Kingpin decides to take him in and have him help eliminate Jameson. Peter Parker, who had quit his photography job at the Daily Bugle in a fit of anger, now has to return to Jameson with newly taken Spider-Man photos to get the job back. He rides through the streets of New York looking for Foswell, stops some of the Kingpin's men from extorting protection money at a gas station, then brawls with gangsters in a private club and uses a spider-tracer to trace his way to the Kingpin's lair. While rescuing Jameson, Spider-Man comes face to face with the bull-strong, immensely powerful Kingpin. He shatters the Kingpin's cane, which conceals a disintegrator ray, only to find his opponent far more formidable than expected; he is finally hit by the hypnotic gas hidden in the Kingpin's tie clip, and the story ends on a cliffhanger. This volume is tightly paced, weaving action, suspense, and human drama together, an important chapter for observing Spider-Man's early storytelling style and the classic villain the Kingpin.

Editor's review

如果你只知道蜘蛛侠会荡着蛛丝在楼宇间穿梭,却不了解他早期的漫画故事,这一册会是一个很好的入口。斯坦·李擅长在拳脚相向的故事里塞进大量生活气息:彼得·帕克为了赚钱养家、给梅姨交房租,不得不低声下气地回到他那位暴躁的老板詹姆森面前;感情线上,他又因为把心思都放在犯罪案件上,错过了和格温·斯黛西的相处,被玛丽·简调侃得无言以对。超级英雄的困境从来都不只是反派,还有账单和约会。 本册的反派金并是该系列中最有分量的对手之一。他不是靠超能力取胜,真正可怕的是心计、势力、沉稳冷静,以及对暴力的掌控。约翰·罗米塔的画风在动作场景里极有张力,人物体型、表情与城市空间都被处理得干净利落,读起来很顺畅。 作为一册合集,它单看故事基本能看懂前因后果,适合当作经典蜘蛛侠故事来补课;但如果你在追一条连续连载,建议按顺序读,以理解彼得辞去报社工作、回到岗位等情节的来龙去脉。

Reading tips

  1. 阅读前可先了解彼得·帕克、詹姆森、金并三人的基本关系,能更快进入故事。
  2. 本册结尾留有悬念,建议把它当作一册连续故事的中间章来读,不要期待单独闭环。
  3. 注意留意彼得与玛丽·简、格温、哈里之间的互动,这些日常戏是这一代蜘蛛侠故事的魅力所在。
  4. 如果想延展阅读,可以从本册前后几期入手,补全彼得离开并重返号角日报的前因后果。

FAQ

这一册讲的是哪一版蜘蛛侠的故事?
本册对应英文原刊《The Amazing Spider-Man》第 51 期,即 1960 年代斯坦·李与约翰·罗米塔合作的经典系列,而不是近年新刊同号期。
没读过前面的故事,能直接看这一册吗?
基本可以。本册的主要冲突是金并绑架詹姆森,并在故事中交代了彼得辞职、福斯维尔失踪等前情,单看能理解;但结尾留了悬念,建议前后连读。
这本合集里的“51”指什么?
指中文合集版编册或英文原刊期号的第 51 册或第 51 期;输入书名中的编号即对应这一册,并不代表整套丛书。
书名里的“82未”是什么意思?
这是目录线索中的标注,可能指收录范围或文档状态,无法确认为正式版本信息,本页不据此描述具体收录内容。
