App Of The Day: The Amazing Spider-Man: An Origin Story

Webbed wonder swings onto iOS allowing users to become the masked superhero.

Disney has brought the classic Marvel comic book arachnid chap to life as interactive storybook, The Amazing Spider-Man: An Origin Story.

The app has been voiced with the dulcet tones of Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee in the hope of introducing a new audience to the story of teenage Peter Parker's transition into the sticky wisecracking hero.

Speaking of the app, Lee, said: "The Amazing Spider-Man app is a terrific first introduction to the Spider-Man story for young readers. It’s exciting to be able to bring the Spider-Man story to a new generation."

The Spidey app invites users to become hands-on in order to complete tasks such as strength demonstrations, web-slinging across the city and web-shooting to stop criminals.

Lee's voice can be found on numerous reading modes to allow for different reading levels.

Russell Hampton, president of Disney Publishing, said: "After publishing 23 books to date under our Marvel Press imprint, Stan’s direct involvement in developing our first Marvel storybook app has made this a very special digital project.

"Stan gives voice to one of the greatest comic-book heroes of all time in a way that only he can, and the interactive features of the app will engage young readers and encourage them to read on."

The Amazing Spider-Man: An Origin Story is for £4.99 from the App Store.
