DESCRIPTION
ow/white pages; QES Certified: impressive prime focal area, sharp right edge with no chipping, deep color strike (red, black & blue)
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 story 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 QES-certified copy earned a 6.5 grade from CGC. Dizzying prices have been realized for AF #15 in recent years, driving countless investors, collectors, and fans alike toward 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 they are priced out of the marketplace. With countless comic books, cartoons, toys, video games, and movies, already on the market, and only more coming in the future, Spider-Man is an international household name for a reason. Three of the greatest comic creators of all time, Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby came together to forge a pop-culture sensation for the ages in this comic book milestone.
Overstreet Guide 2022 FN+ (6.5) value = $68,850
