Origins of Spider-Man

Amazing Fantasy #15 was the very first sighting of Spider-Man in comic history. It was a beautiful comic about a nerdy and outsider kind of teenage boy who by some freak accident with a radioactive spider gains amazing super powers. This magazine started a frenzy of interest in Spider-Man and has led to over 3800 comics being published on his story.

A few new Amazing Fantasy magazines were written in 1995 filling in the gaps between #15 and Amazing Spider-Man #1.
