Amazing Spider-Man #1 was destined to become a pop-culture classic as Marvel rushed out Spider-Man's second appearance after his smash debut in Amazing Fantasy #15. (Marvel still added the top-selling Fantastic Four in their first crossover to bring in new readers.) This first issue has since remained a cornerstone of comic collecting — with co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko bringing in the first appearance of J. Jonah Jameson as one of the most iconic supporting characters in the history of comics. Fans also meet JJJ's astronaut son John, along with seeing The Chameleon's debut as Spidey’s first supervillain.

Of course, Amazing Spider-Man #1 has added value for establishing both Peter Parker and Spider-Man as major influences in building the Marvel Universe. This is the first issue of a title that would feature an extended cast of classic villains who'd torment heroes across all the Marvel titles. The book also provides Peter with a supporting cast of family and friends that's endured for decades, with nearly all finding big-screen fame in Marvel movie projects.

Amazing Spider-Man #1, the first issue of one of Marvel's flagship titles, represented a historic moment in pop culture as well as comics. This QES-certified Microsoft collection copy earned an impressive 9.0 Universal Grade from CGC, with off-white to white pages. Featuring the first appearances of J. Jonah Jameson and the Chameleon, as well as the first Fantastic Four crossover, this landmark key is extremely fresh and clean. The iconic Kirby and Ditko cover presents beautifully, with clear, sharp renditions of Spider-Man and the FF. Spidey has appeared in countless comics, movies, TV shows, and video games, and he's not going away anytime soon. This high-grade copy of his first self-titled issue would be an exciting addition to any collection or investment portfolio.
