''Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man: The Battle of the Century'' is a comic book jointly published by Marvel Comics and DC Comics in 1976. It was the second crossover between DC Comics and Marvel following their joint collaboration on ''MGM's Marvelous Wizard of Oz'', and the first modern superhero crossover. ==Publication history== In the early 1970s author and literary agent David Obst suggested to Marvel publisher Stan Lee and DC editorial director Carmine Infantino that there should be a feature film crossover featuring Marvel's Spider-Man and DC's Superman characters. However, there was already a Superman movie planned by Warner Bros. (the first Superman movie in that franchise), and a series of Spider-Man TV movies, so instead the two companies settled for an oversize comic book entitled ''Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man: The Battle of the Century.'' The comic was published in 1976 and featured the two title characters, Mary Jane Watson and Lois Lane, J. Jonah Jameson and Morgan Edge and the villainous Doctor Octopus and Lex Luthor. It was the second time the two U.S. comic book giants published a joint venture, the first being 1975's ''MGM's Marvelous Wizard of Oz''. The writing was done by Gerry Conway and the penciling by Ross Andru. Both of these creators had worked on Superman and Spider-Man before in their own titles. The original edition lists no editor, with the splash reading: "Presented by: Carmine Infantino and Stan Lee"; this was changed to "Edited by" in a 1991 reprint. Conway in 2009 said he "did the actual editorial work," i.e. "proofing, supervision of production, supervision of art and lettering and coloring".〔 Neal Adams redrew the major Superman figures.〔"When the Legend becomes fact", interviews with artists and editors involved on the comics. From ''Back Issue'' Magazine #11 (2005)〕 Inker Dick Giordano recalled, "()he pages were sent to (and Adams' studio ) Continuity and were mostly left on my desk... and Neal took it upon himself to redraw the Superman figures without telling me that he was going to do it. I didn't complain, but also I also never mentioned it to anyone at the time and I never spoke of it until now... mostly of for respect for Ross and his work 〔 John Romita Sr. drew some Marvel-character faces and did some Spider-Man alterations in chapter two.〔 at the Grand Comics Database.〕 Giordano's assistant, Terry Austin, inked backgrounds, except for three pages of the five-page "Prologue 3", on which Bob Wiacek inked backgrounds.〔 Though it is not considered canon, bits of the story have been shown in some of Marvel other titles: * ''What If?'' #1 (Feb. 1977): Uatu The Watcher shows glimpses of the various universes.
