Since his debut in
Amazing Fantasy No. 15 in August 1962,

quest to take on the mantle of Spider-Man and rid New York City of the bad guys, and we’ve been rooting for him ever since. For more than 50 years he’s been a star of comic books, television, movies, and Broadway, and now, with 192 pages of images

The Little Book of Spider-Man is your
authoritative guide to the everyman super hero!
