Highest Graded
Amazing Fantasy #15 ushered in the first appearance of Spider-Man, quickly becoming the Silver Age equivalent of Action #1 as both a cultural artifact and important investment for collectors. The teen hero shook up the comics industry in his first appearance as 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 has always been a hot commodity, since the day it was published Spider-Man immediately captured the imagination of comic readers and instantly handed Marvel its first headline hero since Captain America. The comic has not only been consistently trending upwards in value for years, but it is also currently going bonkers, realizing sale prices never before dreamt of in the hobby. With several copies to choose from in this auction, at different grades and price points, this is the highest-graded in the mix, and it is a very comely 7.0 that hits all of the points expected from this iconic top-ten key. Shiny colors and an impressive overall presentation make this a very nice example that will see plenty of bidding action come auction time.
Overstreet Guide 2020 F/VF (7.0) value = $70,100.
