I own almost all of the manga (I'm coming close to completing the collection, and each volume is only like $9.95), as I like to physically own the things I love (and support the artists, etc.), but if it's too much of an investment or if you want to preview the manga before purchasing it, you can find the entire thing scanned and hosted here:

Atari, as a kid I never differentiated between the Spiderman titles. I'd see 'Spectacular,' 'The Amazing,' 'Web of,' and just say "Oh, they have different titles. It never even occurred to me back then that it meant anything, or that they were divided in any way.

cool, thanks...ill def. check this out...i was actually inspired to look into manga while reading scott mccloud's 'understanding comics' where he talks about the stylistic differences between japanese and western comics
