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.
________________________________________________
A true classic of the Silver Age, Spidey’s first appearance in his self-titled book is nothing short of legendary. The perfect companion piece to Amazing Fantasy #15, this copy shines bright with impressive colors, the book is very attractive overall, despite some Marvel chipping along the right side of the cover. This should be a popular item at auction for those looking to snap up Spider-Man’s first issue at a price point that will entice a large swath of bidders to get in on the action. Spidey keys are wise investments with plenty of room to move up in value, especially with a new MCU entry about to launch.
