origin & 1st app of Spider-Man (Peter Parker), 1st Uncle Ben & Aunt May (8/62); Jack Kirby cvr, Steve Ditko art; Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)


Amazing Fantasy #15 remains the Silver Age equivalent of Action Comics #1 as both a cultural artifact and important investment for collectors. Spider-Man's first appearance 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. Marvel brought in Jack Kirby to catch 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.

Amazing Fantasy #15 is a top collectible at any grade, with this sharp 5.0 preserving the vital focal point that remains an iconic pop-culture moment. Collectors and fans alike haven't stopped talking about this book for the past 62 years. That won't change as the MCU’s blockbuster Spidey franchise films gear up for a fourth entry starring Tom Holland. With more Spidey-themed projects in the works (including two upcoming theatrical releases in 2024), it's never a bad time to invest in this important key.
