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.
The restoration of this comic has returned it to a condition that provides a great deal of eye appeal. The colors are bright and glossy, the background is clean and crisp, and the price will be at a discount of an original condition copy. With several examples of AF #15 available in this Event Auction, this will surely be an object of frenzied bidding, as our clientele battles it out over a handsome and relatively affordable copy of a book that is helping to reframe the entire landscape of the comic collecting hobby. The sky's the limit on Spidey’s first appearance, so don’t miss out.
