Comics Corner: Amazing Fantasy 15

Title: Amazing Fantasy

Issue Number: 15 

Release Date: August 1962

Highlights

• Short story that's to the point with no filler
• Great origin story for a soon to be, all new, fan favorite super hero
• First appearance of Peter Parker / Spider-Man
• First appearance of The Burglar
• First appearance of Aunt May
• First appearance of Uncle Ben

Low Points

• Remaining two stories, unrelated to Spider-Man, are uninspiring and rather bland
• Promised continued adventures of Spider-Man in Amazing Fantasy 16 never came to fruition because the series was cancelled shortly after publication of issue 15

Oddities

• Characters have noticeably large and disproportionate heads
