Amazing Spider-Man – Marvel Comics – (1963–1998) – Volume 1 – #1–441

📘 Series Summary

The monumental Amazing Spider-Man Volume 1 represents the definitive foundation of the Spider-Man mythos, detailing the life of Peter Parker from his debut as a struggling teen hero to his eventual marriage and adulthood. This original, continuous run of 441 issues, spanning four decades, established the core themes of power, responsibility, tragedy, and the constant balancing act between Peter Parker's civilian life and Spider-Man's heroic duties.

Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the series is renowned for introducing nearly all of Spider-Man's most famous and enduring adversaries, including Doctor Octopus, the Vulture, Mysterio, the Lizard, and, critically, the Green Goblin. The series contains some of the most influential comic book storylines ever published, such as the game-changing death of Gwen Stacy and the highly controversial Clone Saga narrative that defined the mid-90s.

This volume captures the evolution of both the character and the industry, featuring iconic runs from legendary creators like Todd McFarlane and David Michelinie, and establishing the key supporting cast, including Mary Jane Watson and J. Jonah Jameson. It remains the most essential, foundational volume for any serious Marvel collector.
