Amazing Fantasy #15 remains the Silver Age equivalent of
Action Comics #1 as both a cultural artifact and important investment for collectors. The introduction of Spider-Man notoriously shook up the comics industry with the premise of a neurotic Everyman gifted with extraordinary powers. There was also a different kind of tragic backstory fueled by Peter Parker’s guilt over the death of his Uncle Ben. Jack Kirby caught the eyes of kids with one of the best covers in comics history; Steve Ditko took over the interior art while working with co-creator Stan Lee on this legendary debut.
All that innovation made for a timeless collectible that's kept Spider-Man (and Peter Parker) swinging for over 60 years as one of the most iconic and collectible characters in comics. Spidey remains the biggest star of all variations on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, helping to establish
Amazing Fantasy #15 as one of the most reliable investments in comics history.
Exhibiting some Marvel chipping along the right side of the cover, this book still presents bold, resplendent colors that enhance the classic Kirby illustration; this is a comic that every serious collector needs to have in their possession. AF #15 has proven time and time again to be a solid investment, with great upside potential. With Spidey’s dominance of the silver screen fueling the desirability of his premiere issue, this book keeps growing in value on an annual basis. This is a perfect opportunity for those collectors who cannot afford to compete at higher levels and should appeal to bidders seeking to invest in an AF #15 or add a copy to their personal portfolio. An Amazing Fantasy #15 3.5 sold for $27,600 in September 2023.
