Coming up tomorrow AMAZING SPIDER-MAN No. 1! Published 1963, Spiderman's second appearance. With one of the most fantastic opening descriptions for our unlikely hero, an ordinary kid in a set of extraordinary circumstances.

"Teen sad sack Peter Parker, bitten by an irradiated arachnid, gains amazing abilities, including an almost bottomless capacity for guilt and psychological self-flagellation. Soon a host of malcontents, misanthropes and misfits will find themselves caught in Spidey's web of neuroticism"

How flattering!
