Ditko cover & art; origin retold; 1st Chameleon; 1st J. Jonah Jameson; Fantastic Four cover (3/63) Comic Book Impact rating of 9 (CBI)Spider-Man's first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 was an overnight sensation, leading to a hurriedly prepared solo title from co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. (Marvel still brought in the top-selling Fantastic Four on the cover as insurance.) The book remains one of the cornerstones of comic collecting--featuring the first appearance of J. Jonah Jameson as one of the most iconic supporting characters in the history of comics. The book is also notable for including The Chameleon as Spidey’s first supervillain. The shape-shifting spy has been one of the major missing figures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is finally set to make his big-screen debut in this year’s Kraven the Hunter film.
Amazing Spider-Man 1 is a milestone issue as it marked the first ever Marvel-age cross over as well as the first appearance of the iconic J. Jonah Jameson. By using the success of the Fantastic Four, Stan Lee was able to uphold new-jack Spidey's place amongst Marvel's elite.
Over 92% of blue label copies grade below this one, leaving this sharp 7.5 example an attractive option for both collectors and investors alike. Its blazing white pages are supple. The bright red cover inks are almost headache-inducing and there is no Marvel chipping, no pencil marks, no tape and no glue present.
Overstreet Guide 2013 VF- (7.5) value = $11,814.
