Applause is proud to announce the November 2022 release of <b>With Great Power</b> (320 pages • 978-1-4930-6619-3 • $26.95 • Hardback) by

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);background:white">If Hollywood had a
superhero throne, Spider-Man would be perched upon it. As the most
popular superhero in the world, the web-slinger plays a pivotal role in
three of the six highest-grossing film franchises in history:
the Marvel Cinematic Universe; the <i>Avengers</i> quadrilogy; and the <i>Spider-Man</i> movies themselves.<u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:120%;color:rgb(51,51,51);background:white">Spidey
has come a long way since Marvel guru Stan Lee first concocted him in
1962, but until now his cinematic journey has not been fully documented.
The wall-crawler’s
history in Hollywood is a saga filled with failed attempts,
behind-the-scenes squabbles, franchise reboots, corporate intrigue, and a
host of A-list names—including, of course, stars Tobey Maguire, Andrew
Garfield, and Tom Holland.
<i>With Great Power </i>is a lively and memorable account of the
character’s rise to box-office supremacy, revealing how his movies
continue to influence the comic-book adaptations being made today.
Drawing on exclusive access to and extensive interviews with
directors, actors, producers, and screenwriters, veteran film reporter
and author Sean O'Connell here gives the inside scoop on how Spider-Man
clambered his way to the top of Hollywood’s superhero heap.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
