When Stan Lee took control of Marvel Comics in 1972, he redoubled his efforts to encourage the rock scene to embrace his caped crusaders. This first manifested in the (murkily licensed) prog-rock concept album The Marvel World Of Icarus by the band Icarus, who traded psychedelic sci-fi dragons and Tolkien references to jam about the Silver Surfer and Madame Masque.
Then, in the same year, Marvel’s first fully backed album arrived. The Amazing Spider-Man: From Beyond The Grave: A Rockomic (you know it’s a bitchin’ rock-opera because it has two colons) was created by fictional superband frontman Ron Dante of The Archies. The album is a full-on musical that has a rock-god Spidey who, ahem, “makes all the little girls sigh.”
