The Amazing Spiderman Spiderman is one of the most popular superheroes in the world, with a wide ranging cultural influence. Spiderman first made his appearance in 1962 in Amazing Fantasy #15. In the first story we meet Peter Parker, a lonely, unpopular high school student, more interested in books than saving the world. But, thanks to a radioactive spider, Peter Parker develops the strength and agility of a spider. Like any high school student would when faced with this situation, Peter Parker sews himself a red bodysuit, develops a device to eject webbing, and becomes a professional wrestler. Unfortunately, Peter Parker is more interested in using his newfound skill to make money than to help anyone. When he passes on the chance to catch a thief, the thief ends up killing his beloved uncle. With this blow, Spiderman’s transition from teenager to superhero is complete. Spiderman, more than just comic books The above story was introduced as a one-time experiment. After the release of Amazing Fantasy #15, however, sales surged. Spiderman proved to be phenomenally successful and helped revive Marvel’s lagging fortunes. A franchise was born, spawning dozens of comic book series, cartoons and video games. The latest incarnation of the Spiderman series has been a series of extremely successful movies staring Tobey Maguire as Spiderman and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. The first movie, released in 2002, showed us the start of Spiderman’s career – although this time his transformation was caused by a genetically modified spider instead of a radioactive spider. With his newfound powers, Spiderman finds himself face to face with the Green Goblin, played by Willem Dafoe. Riding the on success of the first movie, Spiderman returned in 2004 in Spiderman 2. This time, Spiderman faces off against Doctor Octopus, a multi-tentacled experiment gone wrong. Spiderman 3 is scheduled for release in 2007. This time is set to face his biggest enemy yet – himself in his black venom suit. Back to the comic books Despite Spiderman’s success outside the realm of comic books, at the end of the day Spiderman is still a comic book superhero. In order to truly enjoy Spiderman in all his glory, you need to look to his comic book stories. Of course, finding all of Spiderman’s comic books can be a daunting task. Spiderman stories can be found in a dizzying array of series. After Amazing Fantasy, Spiderman was given his own series, aptly titled The Amazing Spiderman. He can also be found in Spectacular Spiderman, Sensational Spiderman, and even Ultimate Spiderman (not to be confused with Spiderman Unlimited). If you are trying to find copies of older Spiderman comics, be sure to check out popular online auction sites. However, you should be prepared to pay for the pleasure of owning an early Spiderman comic: early editions of The Amazing Spiderman can go for thousands of dollars! Obviously, Spiderman is not just for kids anymore. But don’t worry – slightly later versions of The Amazing Spiderman only go for a few hundred dollars. |
