| Cover of the Amazing Fantasy introducing Spider-Man for the first Time |
The 15th issue of the Amazing Adult Fantasy (a science fiction-fantasy anthology) which was published in Aug. 1962 has a big importance because that is the issue which introduced Spider-Man for the first time. Spider-Man was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. During the first sketches, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko was designing Spider-Man to be a new kind of superhero, one who would be a teenager, but not a sidekick, and one who would have everyman doubts, neuroses and money problems.
Sales for Amazing Fantasy #15 proved to be one of Marvel's highest at the time and The Amazing Spider-Man was quickly launched to capitalize on the new character's apparent popularity. Although the interior artwork was by Steve Ditko alone, Lee rejected Ditko's cover art and commissioned Jack Kirby to pencil a cover that Ditko inked.
