    Default Do any Spider-Man comics deserve the "Behold Galactus" treatment?

    Behold Galactus is a hardcover collection of some of the most notable Galactus appearances. What makes it special is its size (13 41/64" x 21 1/4")



    Apparently, Marvel will follow it up with a similarly sized collection of key non-Galactus Kirby Fantastic Four comics.

    Are there any Spider-Man stories you'd like to see in this form?
    Sincerely,

    All the below would be worthy of this honor, IMO -

    Green Goblin
    Doctor Octopus
    Venom

    And of course the man himself Spider-Man (most important moments)

    Any particular stories/ runs?

    For example, I think Romita Sr's Spider-Man is one of the best drawn comics on the planet, but I'm not sure it benefits as much from this size (except for maybe Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine #2).

    Though, a Best of Ditko might be great, with the Master Planner saga, and the Sinister Six annual.

    Green Goblin - Intro, Peter discovering his identity, "The Night Gwen Stacy Died", Harry's sacrifice (maybe).

    Doctor Octopus - Intro, Peter's first defeat/redemption, Sinister Six (I think that came before the aborted marriage), Failed Marriage to Aunt May, Dying Wish (maybe)

    Venom - Key Black Costume moments, Intro, the first three battles, Carnage

    I'd love to see the "If This Be My Destiny" splash page in such a large print...

    How about an omnibus or two for J.M. DeMatteis, namely his Kraven (and Kravinoff family) story arcs, his handling of Harry Osborn's final descent into madness and eventual death, and even his establishment of the backstories and characterizations of Spider-Man's clone "brothers" Ben Reilly and Kaine?
    The spider is always on the hunt.

    I started a thread on that question, although I don't know if these stories fit the particular format.

    The 21 inches by 13 inches might work with Kraven's Last Hunt, and Spider-Man Blue, as really well-regarded beautifully illustrated self-contained Spider-Man stories.
