Spiderman in Iambic Pentameter - Paperback

by John Landau (Author)

A tribute to Spiderman in the Iambic Pentameter of Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth, in the original style of the author. Includes "Of Men and Spiders Sing", the classic Spiderman origin tale retold in blank verse, and "Of Sand and Strands Unspindle", an original story pitting Sandman against Spiderman. Two books in one! Both are filled with beautiful black and white illustrations and photos, to give an old broadside feel, and printed in the Folio font of Shakespeare, with a parchment background to enhance the classic atmosphere. But these are not Elizabethan gimmicks, but genuine poetry designed to make your heart soar as our hero does! Adventure-sports enthusiasts will find their own activities described with ecstatic flourish, as Spiderman leaps, swings, and sails the air. This is a poetry experience like you've never had before! Both action-packed and beautiful, Spiderman in Iambic Pentameter will turn those into comics onto the possibilities of poetry, and poets onto comic possibilities. Enjoy!
