Bermejo explained:

“Even as a kid, I could never detach some sense of realism from the way I thought of Spider-Man “I always wanted to know how his web shooters worked and why you could never see the line where the mask attached to the costume while still totally being able to lose myself in the fantasy of a teenager bitten by a radioactive spider who would walk up walls and lift cars. My artistic vision has always been to interpret Spidey in a grounded way without losing the spectacle and sense of ‘amazing fantasy’. I’m beyond thrilled to be able to show readers important moments of his history through my lens leading up to the landmark issue #1000 of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, while still respecting the important legacy that so many creators I love contributed to through the years.”

Spider-Editor Nick Lowe added:

“There are rare artists who can take something we’ve seen a million times and somehow make it seem revolutionary. Lee Bermejo is one of those artists. We’ve been looking for ways to celebrate the lead-up to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000, and having Lee Bermejo take on 25 of the most important moments in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN history seemed like a heck of a way to do so!”
