Fresh off the massive debut of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, fans of the web-slinging superhero can now get a glimpse into the incredible artwork behind the film.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: The Art of the Movie takes readers behind the scenes of the latest Marvel superhero flick, which has garnered praise for its incredibly rich and innovative visuals. The book, which chronicles the making of the film, has already shot to No. 1 on Amazon’s bestsellers chart. 

In the book, written by Animation Magazine’s Ramin Zahed, readers are given a behind-the-scenes look into how the Sony Pictures Animation team put the film together, from initial character sketches and storyboards to exclusive concept art that’s never been seen until now. Everything is presented through vivid, full-color images that pop off the page in much the same way they popped on screen.
