Comics and television converged when Loeb was brought on as a producer-writer on the teen-themed Superman adaptation 'Smallville' (The WB/The CW, 2001-2011), the cult phenomenon 'Lost,' (ABC, 2004-2010) and the superhero melodrama 'Heroes' (NBC, 2006-2010). Loeb broke out in the industry with the heralded miniseries Batman: The Long Halloween, drawn by artist Tim Sale with whom the writer would collaborate several more times on titles for both DC and Marvel. Work on an unproduced superhero movie led to the lifelong comic book aficionado being offered writing jobs on several titles for DC Comics in the early 1990s. Fresh from earning his master's degree in film at Columbia University, Loeb enjoyed early success as the co-scripter for the genre movies 'Teen Wolf' (1985) and 'Commando' (1985). So today we wanted to take a look at some of the most important Spider-Man stories that fans should read, why they have left such an impact on the character over the years, and what we think of the collected editions that feature Spider-Man's most important stories.A prolific film and television screenwriter-producer, Jeph Loeb also garnered acclaim as an award-winning writer for comic book publishing giants DC and Marvel. It all comes back to Spider-Man's decades worth of great stories that may seem daunting for new fans to begin to explore. Marvel Comics first published the origin of Spider-Man in Amazing Fantasy #15 by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko before the character appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #1, and ever since the character has been making new fans from the comics, animated series, live-action TV series, and big-budget cinematic franchises and appearances in some of the biggest comic book movies ever.
