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 this 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.
The extensive restoration work done on this comic has potentially made it look better than any original condition copy could possibly appear, even at the same grade. The comic has the immaculate presentation of a newly printed modern comic, and it is truly a sight to behold. Professionally restored books have been climbing in value as acceptance of restored comics continues to grow around the collecting community. There are absolutely no imperfections here, as the corners, spine, colors, and centering have been imbued with a perfection rarely (if ever) seen in a comic from the Silver Age. This remarkable copy of one of the most valuable comics in the history of the industry, with tons of historical gravitas, at a restored price point is a recommended investment.
