Spider-Man For Dummies unweaves the web of this friendly neighborhood super hero and dives into how Spider-Man came to be. Produced in partnership with Marvel Comics, this fun and friendly guide features full-color art taken directly from the comics. You’ll be able to observe first-hand the evolution of the spider-suit and uncover the powers of this iconic hero. Get to know the other major characters that play a part in Peter’s life, both family and foes, and learn more about Spider-Man’s credo: "With great power there must also come great responsibility." Before long, you’ll understand how an unassuming kid from Queens managed to secure his spot as one of the great Marvel super heroes. Discover the origins of Spider-Man’s arachnid abilities Trace the evolution of the spider-suit Meet the friends, family, and foes featured in the comics Understand Spider-Man’s inner struggles through triumph and tragedy Explore the epic crossovers and greatest Spider-Man team-ups For super fans, casual comic book readers, and people new to Marvel super heroes altogether, Spider-Man For Dummies has something to make everyone’s Spidey-Sense tingle.

Graphic Encounters
With the recent explosion of activity and discussion surrounding comics, it seems timely to examine how we might think about the multiple ways in which comics are read and consumed. Graphic Encounters moves beyond seeing the reading of comics as a debased or simplified word-based literacy. Dale Jacobs argues compellingly that we should consider comics as multimodal texts in which meaning is created through linguistic, visual, audio, gestural, and spatial realms in order to achieve effects and meanings that would not be possible in either a strictly print or strictly visual text. Jacobs advances two key ideas: one, that reading comics involves a complex, multimodal literacy and, two, that by studying how comics are used to sponsor multimodal literacy, we can engage more deeply with the ways students encounter and use these and other multimodal texts. Looking at the history of how comics have been used (by churches, schools, and libraries among others) will help us, as literacy teachers, best use that knowledge within our curricula, even as we act as sponsors ourselves.
