This iconic comic remains the Silver Age equivalent of Action Comics #1 as both a cultural artifact and a great investment for collectors. Jack Kirby ushered in the historic first appearance of Spider-Man on the classic cover; Steve Ditko took over the interior art as he worked with co-creator Stan Lee on this legendary debut. The story also set up the radical new concept of a neurotic Everyman behind the hero's mask All of this made for a timeless collectible that's kept Spider-Man (and his very human alter-ego) swinging for over 60 years as one of the most iconic and collectible characters in comics.
Copies of Amazing Fantasy #15 certified Fine or better are quite rare. The incredible popularity of Spider-Man saw kids reading, re-reading, and trading their comics over and over, leaving most surviving copies dull, drab, and damaged. The low-quality paper the struggling Marvel Comics was using at the time didn't help either. This is a solid, handsome copy of the very first appearance and origin of Spider-Man. Examples as nice as this are scarce and increase in value over time, always a strong investment with plenty of upside, mid-grade copies like this are great for investment collectors. No Spider-Man collection is complete without an AF #15.
Overstreet Guide 2022 FN (6.0) value = $46,800.
