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.
________________________________________________
Featuring the first appearance and origin stories of everyone's favorite web-slinging, wall-crawling superhero, Spider-Man, Amazing Fantasy #15 is arguably the most desirable comic of the Marvel Silver Age revolution. This copy bears a 7.0 grade from CGC, with cream to off-white pages. Despite some Marvel chipping along the outer edge of the book, the iconic Jack Kirby illustration remains unblemished. Spider-Man's red, blue, and black suit has never looked better than it does here in his first appearance. The yellow of the Amazing Fantasy logo and cover copy are both razor-sharp.
Record high prices have been attained for Amazing Fantasy #15 in recent months, driving countless investors, collectors, and fans alike towards the book. With a massive increase in value compared to just last year, investors are plunking down record amounts due to the issue’s immense potential for growth while fans are eager to own their piece of the AF #15 pie before it's too late. With countless comic books, cartoons, toys, video games, and movies, and only more coming in the future, Spider-Man is an international household name for a reason. That reason is the holy trinity of Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby realized in this book, three of the greatest comic creators of all time, coming together to forge a pop-culture sensation for the ages.
