Spider-Man is one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel Comics universe, with a rich publication history that spans over six decades.  Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Spider-Man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962.  The character quickly became popular with readers and was given his own series, The Amazing Spider-Man, in 1963.  The series was an instant success, and Spider-Man soon became one of Marvel’s most recognizable and popular characters.

Over the years, many talented writers and artists contributed to Spider-Man’s story, including John Romita, David Michelinie, J. Michael Straczynski and Dan Slott. The character’s most iconic storylines include The Night Gwen Stacy Died, Spider-Man: The Wedding, and Kraven’s Last Hunt.  Many annuals and graphic novels featuring Spider-Man have been published.  The series has been rebooted several times (in the comics as well as the movies), and Spider-Man has also been involved in many major Marvel Comics crossover events, such as the Civil War storyline in the 2000s.

One of the most notable aspects of Spider-Man’s publication history is the character’s evolution over time. In the early years of the series, Spider-Man was depicted as a teenage superhero struggling to balance his personal life with his crime-fighting duties. However, as the character grew in popularity, his storylines became more complex and mature.  Starting in the 1980s, Spider-Man has been involved in darker and more mature storylines, including battles with drug addiction and dealing with the death of loved ones.  Despite these changes, Spider-Man remains one of the most beloved and enduring characters in comic book history.
