Trade Paperback: Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 1 or Amazing Spider-Man Epic Collection: Great Power or Mighty Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man – With Great PowerĪmazing Spider-Man #33 cover by Steve Ditko. Single Issues: Amazing Fantasy #15 (has been reprinted over a dozen times) It has an immense amount of weight behind it and gave us a mantra which everyone can live by – “With great power comes great responsibility.” Spider-Man’s origin is one of the best and rightly so. Thanks to the movies/animated series we all know it’s about a teenage boy who was bitten by a radioactive spider and is ultimately motivated to become a hero out the guilt he has from his uncle’s death. Without reading this issue you are probably very familiar with the contents of Amazing Fantasy #15 as it tells the origin story of Spider-Man.

As we know, this ended up being a good move and Spider-Man is still with us today. Issue #15 was going to be the final issue of Amazing Fantasy so Stan Lee used it try-out the character, which the publisher Martin Goodman thought was a stupid idea, without any real financial repercussions. Before Spider-Man had his own series he appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15. Amazing Fantasy #15 cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko.
