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.
These days restored comics no longer have the taboo that was prevalent even only 10 years ago. With so many people collecting and investing these days there just aren't enough copies of certain books to go around and satisfy demand. So why not pick up a restored 9.6 at a fraction of the cost of an unrestored copy? Beautiful colors and white/off-white pages make this one a beauty!
Overstreet Guide 2016 NM- (9.2) value = $62,000.
