Ditko cover & art; origin retold; 1st Chameleon; 1st J. Jonah Jameson; Fantastic Four cover (3/63) Comic Book Impact rating of 9 (CBI)Spider-Man's first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 was an overnight sensation, leading to a hurriedly prepared solo title from co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. (Marvel still brought in the top-selling Fantastic Four on the cover as insurance.) The book remains one of the cornerstones of comic collecting--featuring the first appearance of J. Jonah Jameson as one of the most iconic supporting characters in the history of comics. The book is also notable for including The Chameleon as Spidey’s first supervillain. The shape-shifting spy has been one of the major missing figures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is finally set to make his big-screen debut in this year’s Kraven the Hunter film.
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.
