Macchio, Ralph
BESTSELLER del NEW YORK TIMES Desde que Karate Kid irrumpió en la estratosfera de la cultura pop en junio de 1984, no ha habido semana en la que Ralph Macchio no haya oído a su paso exclamaciones amistosas como ''¡Dar cera, pulir cera!''. Tras retomar su papel de Daniel LaRusso en la serie número 1 de Netflix Cobra Kai, por fin está listo para echar la vista atrás y celebrar el legado de Karate Kid en el cine, la cultura pop y su propia vida. El resultado es una mirada exhaustiva sobre la película que no solo marcó a Macchio sino que ejerció una enorme influencia en todo el mundo. Además de compartir las historias de sus primeros pasos tras las cámaras, su inocencia inicial, el proceso de audición, sus experiencias trabajando con Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue y William Zabka y mucho más, Macchio describe también el nacimiento de algunos de los momentos más icónicos de la película, incluyendo la creación de la famosa patada de la grulla y las conmovedoras escenas que revelaron la intrigante historia del Señor Miyagi.

Macchio, Ralph
When Stan Lee first pitched the idea of Spider-Man in 1962, his boss was full of objections: People hate spiders. Teenagers aren't lead characters, they're sidekicks. He should be glamorous and successful, not a friendless loser. But Stan persisted and Martin Goodman let him give the unlikely hero a tryout in Amazing Fantasy, which was already slated for cancellation. With Spider-Man on the cover, No. 15 shot to the top of Marvel's best-seller list for the year, and the rest is history.Amazing Spider-Man, which debuted seven months later, broke the comics mold. Peter Parker lived in uncool Queens, was always broke, continually worried about his Aunt May, was unlucky in love, and was constantly getting yelled at by his boss, Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson. Spider-Man had the quips and confidence that Parker lacked, but learning to use his powers wasn't always easy. He often seemed on the verge of defeat against the rogue's gallery of classic foes that debuted in the first couple of years: Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Lizard, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, and the Green Goblin. Much of the credit for Spider-Man's greatness goes to cocreator and artist Steve Ditko, who had a knack for portraying teenagers and their problems. His artwork infused Spider-Man with a loose-limbed energy, and, while maybe everyone was scared of spiders, Ditko made swinging through New York seem like the coolest adventure ever.First available as an XXL-sized collector's dream, close in size to the original artworks, this compact edition features the first 21 stories of the world's favorite web slinger from 1962-1964. Rather than recolor the original artwork (as has been done in previous decades' reprints of classic comics), TASCHEN has attempted to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era's inexpensive, imperfect printing-as if hot off a world-class 1960s printing press.With an in-depth historical essay by Marvel editor Ralph Macchio, an introduction by uber-collector David Mandel, and original art, rare photographs, and other gems, this robust collection of wall-crawling wonder will make anyone's spider-sense tingle with anticipation.© 2024 MARVEL
