Amazing Spider-Man #1 was destined to become a pop-culture classic as Marvel rushed out Spider-Man's second appearance after his smash debut in Amazing Fantasy #15. (Marvel still added the top-selling Fantastic Four in their first crossover to bring in new readers.) This first issue has since remained a cornerstone of comic collecting — with co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko bringing in the first appearance of J. Jonah Jameson as one of the most iconic supporting characters in the history of comics. Fans also meet JJJ's astronaut son John, along with seeing The Chameleon's debut as Spidey’s first supervillain.

Of course, Amazing Spider-Man #1 has added value for establishing both Peter Parker and Spider-Man as major influences in building the Marvel Universe. This is the first issue of a title that would feature an extended cast of classic villains who'd torment heroes across all the Marvel titles. The book also provides Peter with a supporting cast of family and friends that's endured for decades, with nearly all finding big-screen fame in Marvel movie projects.

Spider-Man has consistently remained atop the pyramid of superheroes for decades, up there with Superman, Batman, and Wolverine as one of the all-time favorites, and the first issue of his solo title has also held a place as one of the most valuable and desirable comics of all time. With several Spidey films in production and scheduled for release shortly, this is a book that just keeps on giving. This copy has undergone restoration work that includes color touch, staple replacement, and more, which will allow this comic to retain its structural integrity for years to come. An impressive FN- copy with a powerful color palette and strong eye appeal, this book sits in the sweet spot between condition and affordability that will bring a great many bidders to the table come auction time.
