Everyone had that one comic they read until the pages started to fall apart. Whether it came from the drugstore or from a cardboard box at a garage sale, you took it with you everywhere for months. These are the issues that meant a lot to us growing up… and just happen to be worth a lot more now than they were then.
#1: Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962)
This was the comic that introduced Spider-Man. Readers met Peter Parker, a teenager dealing with guilt, responsibility, and radioactive spider powers. It didn’t look like much at first, but American kids related to him in a way they hadn’t with other heroes. The issue became a favorite, and eventually, a collector’s gem.
