1st appearance of the Sinister Six (Doctor Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Sandman, and the Vulture) Steve Ditko cover/art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)


Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 became an instant Marvel classic with the first appearance of the Sinister Six! Doc Ock, Sandman, Kraven, Mysterio, Electro, and The Vulture joined together to battle their arch-rival Spider-Man in a riveting Silver Age yarn scripted by Stan "The Man" Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko. The action also includes cameos from the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Dr. Strange. More importantly, the story has the first meeting between Aunt May and her future love interest Doctor Octopus, where she's so charmed that May doesn't even notice that she's been taken hostage!

There's also an extensive set of pin-ups establishing the Spideyverse, plus the legendary meta tale of "How Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Create Spider-Man!" Sony Studios have kept this book's legend alive by slowly building a film franchise around classic Spider-Man villains, with Kraven the Hunter soon hitting the big screen at the end of 2024. This extremely desirable comic book remains a real prize to be added to any Spidey fanatic's collection!
