I'm super excited that the Spider-Man line is getting more big movie treatment again, and that new movies will come out about him. He's my favorite superhero. I think writer/editor Stan Lee and writer/artist Steve Ditko did an amazing job conceiving him.
When did Spider-Man first come out?
He started poking around in 1962, so he's been around a long, long time. Came around in the anthology comic book "Amazing Fantasy" #15, i nthe Silver Age of Comic Books.
