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.
________________________________________________
Despite some Marvel chipping along the perimeter of this copy of ASM #1, this comic presents very well, the colors are strong and the action at the center of the iconic cover illustration is very clean and clear. Since Amazing Fantasy #15 prices have gone through the roof, collectors are turning to Spidey’s first self-titled issue in anticipation of a similar uptick in value, and this copy is pretty handsome for its grade, this is a surefire investment key of the Marvel Age, it cannot be stressed enough that any serious collector needs to have a copy of this important comic in their portfolio.
