Amazing Fantasy #15 remains the Silver Age equivalent of Action Comics #1 as both a cultural artifact and an important investment for collectors. The introduction of Spider-Man notoriously shook up the comics industry with the premise of 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 Uncle Ben. Jack Kirby caught 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 is still the biggest star of all variations on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Amazing Fantasy #15 continues to be proven time and again as a solid investment.
If you are a devoted Spidey fan on a budget who has dreamt of owning a copy of the web slinger’s first appearance, this 0.5 copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 may have your name written all over it…but make room for another name, that of Marvel head honcho Stan Lee! Although this copy is in timeworn condition, the interiors are complete, and you are not going to find another example that will be this affordable to those collectors out there that are looking to own a piece of comic book history without breaking the bank.
