Spider-Man: Back in Black Handbook

(Marvel, 2007)
™ and © 2007 Marvel Characters, Inc.

A supplement to Marvel’s All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, this book provides detailed information on various characters in the Spider-Man universe that weren’t covered in the main handbook. Mostly these are lesser characters like Cardiac, Silvermane, or Videoman, but a few big names, like Kraven the Hunter and the Vulture, slip in.

The book is arranged alphabetically by profile, and each profile includes a wealth of information on the character in question, including real name, history, and a detailed description of abilities. The book also updates Spider-Man’s history since his entry in the main Marvel Handbook was published. This is an invaluable resource for fans of Spider-Man, or anyone who loves the encyclopedic knowledge that comes with books like the original Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe or DC’s Who’s Who in the DC Universe.
