CHAPTER 1

Introducing Spider-Man

In the world of comic books, there are origin stories, and then there's Amazing Fantasy #15, arguably the most famous and expertly crafted superhero introduction the medium has ever produced. Even the most casual of fans knows Spider-Man's origin — high school bookworm gets super powers from a spider bite; dons a red-and-blue costume and mask — and Uncle Ben is probably second only to Bruce Wayne/Batman's parents when listing the most famous dead characters from the world of comics.

But beyond everyone's familiarity with the story, and the pop culture phenomenon that Spider-Man would become, Amazing Fantasy #15 still warrants celebration more than 50 years after it was first published in August 1962. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Spider-Man's co-creators, needed just 11 pages to introduce Spider-Man to the world. That means the Spider-Man story (one of four tales to appear in the issue) is so tightly plotted and scripted, in the span of a mere 11 pages — half a comic by today's standards — the reader gets nearly every critical element of the Spider-Man mythos.

We are introduced to Peter Parker, an orphan who lives with his doting Aunt May and Uncle Ben. We learn that Peter is smart, but disliked by his classmates and socially aloof, aka "Midtown High's only professional wallflower!" We witness the now iconic radioactive spider-bite that gives Peter his fantastic powers that include leaping high in the air, clinging to walls, and immense strength. We see Peter initially use these powers for personal financial gain, first as a masked wrestler and later as a recurring act on the Ed Sullivan Show. The comic also demonstrates Peter's ingenuity. He engineers his own mechanical web shooters to mimic the act of a spider spinning its web. He also designs his own costume, and a name, Spiderman (the hyphen is added later).

Things are going great for Peter until there's a twist straight out of an O. Henry story. After performing on television, Spider-Man witnesses a petty thief being pursued by a cop. The cop begs Spider-Man to stop the crook, but he stands idly by, snidely telling the officer "That's your job! ... From now on I just look out for number one — that means me!"

Peter's selfishness would come back to haunt him. He comes home one night and sees a police cruiser in front of his aunt and uncle's house. He's told that his Uncle Ben has been murdered by a burglar. Peter dons his costume and seeks revenge on the criminal. He captures him and, as he descends upon the burglar, recognizes his face — it's the same small-time crook he let run by him at the television studio. The comic ends with Peter realizing the error of his ways, absorbing a lesson that would haunt him forever: "With great power, there must also come — great responsibility!"

Amazingly, despite its iconic status today, Amazing Fantasy #15 almost never came to be. As Lee loves to tell it, fresh off creating the Fantastic Four and the Hulk, he pitched the idea of a teenaged hero named Spider-Man to Martin Goodman, publisher of the company that would later be known as Marvel Comics. Goodman dismissed it, claiming that...
