Amazing Fantasy #15
Marvel Comics, 1962
Why It Matters
Amazing Fantasy #15 introduced Spider-Man and Peter Parker in 1962, with a story by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Its first appearance and origin precede The Amazing Spider-Man series. That publication milestone gives the issue its collecting significance within the early Marvel superhero era.
The issue belongs to a continuing anthology rather than Spider-Man's own numbered series. For a particular copy, preservation, completeness and restoration are separate considerations from the importance of the debut.
