This iconic comic remains the Silver Age equivalent of Action Comics #1 as both a cultural artifact and a great investment for collectors. Jack Kirby ushered in the historic first appearance of Spider-Man on the classic cover; Steve Ditko took over the interior art as he worked with co-creator Stan Lee on this legendary debut. The story also set up the radical new concept of a neurotic Everyman behind the hero's mask All of this made for a timeless collectible that's kept Spider-Man (and his very human alter-ego) swinging for over 60 years as one of the most iconic and collectible characters in comics.



A very appealing 6.0, with a small amount of Marvel chipping along the perimeter, this book will certainly command a high price at auction. The bright red contrasts against the slightly muted blue and faded green on this cover to deliver a striking visual impression. This iconic piece of history denotes a seismic shift in the superhero genre in the most-crisp detail. Spider-Man swings into the frame, his face completely obscured, inviting the viewer to put themselves in his uniform. He is everyone and no one all at once and he’s taking on those who would do harm to innocents, boldly standing up for the weak, while inspiring an entirely new generation of emotionally vulnerable superheroes. A perennial favorite in our Event Auctions, this is the top Silver Age book of all time, and it just never seems to stop going up in value.

Overstreet Guide 2022 FN (6.0) value = $46,800
