About Spider-Man
Originally created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Spider-Man made a big splash with his 1962 debut in Marvel Comics’ Amazing Fantasy #15. After the discontinuation of the Amazing Fantasy anthology, Spider-Man would return in his own series The Amazing Spider-Man, beginning in 1963. In 2011, Spider-Man placed third on IGN’s “Top 100 Comic Book Heroes”, behind only Superman and Batman, and in 2014 would be recognized as the “greatest Marvel Comics character of all time”. Officially appearing as part of the Avengers from Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Spider-Man continues to be a mainstay in numerous films, TV series, print, and other media.
