The iconic character first arrived in August of 1962 in his debut issue, Amazing Fantasy #15, by the brilliant mind of Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby; an iconic debut that was preceded by The Amazing Spider-Man #1 in March of 1963.
The Spider-Man: Panel by Panel collection is from the mind of the award-winning graphic designer Chip Kidd, who Marvel states, “Reimagines the iconic first stories using original vintage copies of both comic books to present these classic tales in a whole new way.”
