Back on Track


Well, it is Monday, so I'm going to tell about another book. Today, is not going to be a full novel like in the past. Today, I'm going to tell about a book that is a bunch of short stories about Spider-Man. It is called "Untold Tales of Spider-Man," by Stan Lee and Kurt Busiek. It is a bunch of stories that are supposed to have taken place throughout Spider-Man's life that weren't actually in the original comic books. They are written in full story form and not comic book form. I really liked reading these because I had recently been reading the Essential Spider-Man so I knew a lot of the original stories and then there were these new stories that were during that time but I had never read. One of my favorite of the short stories was one of the later ones. It has Kraven the Hunter. Kraven put some gas on Spidey so that he went all crazy and kept seeing old villains, as well as old friends. He knew he was acting crazy so he takes off the top part of his costume and boots so no one can tell he was Spider-Man by his close. He is then picked up by a mental hospital and has to fight an internal battle as well as Kraven once the hunter finds his prey. It is pretty cool how it all works out and the writing is spectacular!
