Spiderman was first featured in Amazing Fantasy #15. August 1962. 12 cents. My father tore up the comic book thinking it was worthless and thousands of other fathers thought the same. Their sense of worthlessness only increased the worth of the comic so that today Amazing Fantasy #15 sells for over $50,000. Spiderman #1 cost $40,000 in mint condition. My father ripped up that too. Needless to say his values I rejected as a hippie. None of it made me rich except in memories. Certainly richer than the AT&T stock I was given on my graduation from high school.
