Volume 2 - 1st printing. By Ed Gross. SUPERMAN and SPIDER-MAN are two American folk heroes, as classic in their own way as Robin Hood or William Tell.

Though they were originally created for the four color comic book page, both have been reincarnated in virtually every modern medium: comic strip, television, and movies. This book continues the tale of the Web-Spinner and the Man of Steel as they made their ventures onto film, both for the small and the large screen. For the fan of the comic book, television or film medium, we have an invaluable reference, and even the casual reader will find a cornucopia of wonders both old and new!
