Description

Amazing Spider-Man #1 is one of the most popular early key Silver Age issues with good reason. This 1963 issue ushered in a new era for Marvel--the Amazing Spider-Man received his own title and the world of superheroes and collectible comic books would never be the same. Steve Ditko produced his first Spider-Man cover, and the cigar chomping antagonist J. Jonah Jameson, editor of the Daily Bugle, was introduced. The guest appearance of the Fantastic Four adds to this issue's significance, as it ushered in the world of Marvel superhero crossovers.
