1st app. of Kingpin (Wilson Fisk); Spidey's Origin Retold; John Romita cover/art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 8 (CBI)Peter Parker was the first protagonist in the superhero genre to have the "real" problem of a typical American teenager. This classic issue dwells on how a combination of bad grades, J. Jonah Jameson, and Aunt May's health pressures our hero into early retirement. This leads to one of the single most memorable images of the Silver Age of Marvel: the forsaken Spider-suit drooping out of a back-alley garbage pail as a dejected Parker walks away in the rain-soaked background.
Not to fear, though: There's a new threat in town called the Kingpin (in his 1st appearance), and the web-slinger is soon back into action against the massive gang lord. The Kingpin, of course, would become a major figure in both the Spider-Man and Daredevil series, and the introduction of Wilson Fisk makes this book even more of a valued collectible (along with the character's upcoming turn in Disney+'s highly anticipated “Daredevil: Born Again” series).
With rumors abounding that the Kingpin, as portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio will return in the role in future MCU projects, it is a smart move to invest in a copy of the mammoth mobster’s first appearance, especially in such amazing condition. Not only does this book introduce one of Marvel’s most enduring villains, but it also re-tells Spidey’s origin story, and boasts one of the most memorable and iconic covers of Amazing Spider-Man’s historic run. This 9.4 copy hits all of the marks, bright beaming reds, deep dark blues, clean crisp whites, sharp corners, tight spine, and perfect centering. There are plenty of copies of this book on the marketplace, but high-grade examples are more scarce and are consistently rising in value. As Spider-Man’s silver screen exploits continue to break box office records, all of his most important keys show growth in the marketplace as well.
