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 nice, bright, and solid mid-grade copy of an essential classic, the colors pop off this cover powerfully contrasting with the muted background, designed to focus attention on the new arachnid hero. Spidey was one of many inspirations Marvel was churning out on a seemingly monthly basis in the Silver Age, but his immense appeal could not have been predicted. Everyone who considers themselves to be a committed investment collector needs to have this book in their portfolio, although Amazing Fantasy #15 is the Ichiban Spidey book, his first self-titled issue is a worthy, and extremely valuable comic unto itself, one which keeps going up in price with each announcement of a new Spider-Man movie, TV series, or video game.
