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.
This copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 carries a 5.0 grade from CGC, with off-white to white pages. A historic first, the introduction of Spider-Man, and his Uncle Ben and Aunt May to fans everywhere, this cemented the importance of Marvel Comics, and led to countless Spider-Man comics, movies, shows, and merchandise ever since. This is where it all started. This book is so important, it would be extremely desirable in any grade. A 5.0 copy recently sold for a whopping $57,000. Spider-Man appears in full hero mode on this cover, a beautiful edition of an iconic image. Collectors and comic fans alike haven't stopped talking about this book for the last 50 years, and they surely won't stop in the next century.
Overstreet Guide 2021 VG/F (5.0) value = $28,800.

Artist Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
