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

If you are on the hunt for a copy of AF #15 and can’t compete in the upper echelons of grade with the high rollers, this is a perfect opportunity for you to land this Silver Age key. Now, it is not going to go at a discount mind you, but, with the market the way it is today, your best bet is to make a move on Spidey’s origin story now, before copies at lower grades are out of reach. This book is in respectable shape, the central image is clean and free of any wear which is relegated to the edges of the cover. We cannot stress this enough, this is one of the hottest comics around and it is only getting harder to find copies as time goes by.
Overstreet Guide 2020 VG- (3.5) value = $15,838.
