Amazing Spider-Man #1

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. You're going to hear that a LOT in this blog, because these two are the geniuses behind Spider-Man. The storyline, the character, the dialog, and most importantly the costume came from these two men, and have survived for decades despite some trying very hard to destroy them (*cough* the nineties *cough*). What's amazing *no pun intended* about Spider-Man is how quickly the basis for the character is developed, and how long it has lasted. Superman has had three origin stories alone in the 2000s, while Spider-Man has always failed to stop a robber that killed his Uncle Ben.
