Spider-Man has a long, long history at Marvel. He's had dozens of iconic stories that are filled with tragedy, amazing character moments, and classic storylines and imagery that have made their way into some of the films. He was originally just a one-off for the Amazing Fantasy comic series (which was set to be canceled shortly after his debut) but fans quickly fell in love with him.
Many comic collections are filled with his Amazing Fantasy appearance and his first standalone comic. Sadly, these comics are super hard to find and even if you do find one, it's probably very expensive. Luckily, Marvel will be reprinting a number for first issue Spider-Man comics this summer which will be available to purchase for just a $1!
