Aloha and Mahalo to cousin Juan Waiters, who introduced me to both Marvel comics and The Amazing Spider-Man #18 in 1964!

When developing this fan site, I thought to myself, what could I contribute to the world of Spider-Man that hasn't been done before? Rather than repeating things that have already been presented on other Spider-Man web sites, I choose to develop a comprehensive Links and creators page. My goal is to develop a comprehensive web site that between it and these links, if you can't find out EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about the character Spider-Man, it's not out there.

You can go on Google, Yahoo or any other Search Engine and type in the word Spider-Man and come up with more fan web sites than you can shake a web at. As the years have gone on, I've found the following web sites to be nothing but Amazing, Spectacular and down right Sensational in their research, presentation and dedication to the character Spider-Man

This Library of Spider-Man and Black Panther comic books cover scans is for the purpose of enlightening the world community regarding the characters Peter Parker/The Amazing Spider-Man, Mile Morales Spider-Man as well as King T’Challa-The Black Panther.

It's Mission is to promote literacy and research as well as the free expression of ideas regarding the character based upon that research.

With the world wide success of the Spider-Man movies, it is essential, that the unabridged character be presented. The success of Spider-Man and other Marvel Super Heroes in the movies, is greatly dependent upon the ability of the directors and screen writers to fully understand the character and the actor portraying that character, fully buying into that Super Hero. In deference to the late Christopher Reeves, I would say that he bought into this concept better than any so far. He was Superman down to the curl in the forehead. He "made you believe that a man could fly"!

Hollywood must understand that because of the relatively faithful presentation, that the Spider-Man movies have taken( organics and Mary Jane /Gwen melding not withstanding), individual fans of Spider-Man supported those movies by attending them as much as 16 times.

Whenever Sony Pictures releases a Spider-Man movie, they generate a Billion dollars in revenue for that year. Spider-Man fans will support any faithful presentation of the character at a financial rate that is World Record Breaking. Faithful presentation means as written within the Spider-Man comic books. The farther away from the source material (comics) the greater the box office flop.

Of the many titles and series within the world of Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man, volume One, is considered the foundation of the mythos. It is hoped that through this cover scans library, you will have a greater understanding of this character, become a comic book collector and understand why I consider him to be one of the greatest fictional characters of all time!

"Spider-Man is one of Marvel's flagship characters so, yeah, I'd say 'Amazing Fantasy' is very important," said Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Axel Alonso. "Funny thing is, the series — which was formerly titled 'Amazing Adult Fantasy' — was scheduled for cancellation before issue 'Amazing Fantasy' No. 15 hit stands. It ended up being one of Marvel's highest sellers at the time, and paving the road for the 'Amazing Spider-Man' series that's run monthly ever since."

It also helped pave the way for Spider-Man adventures on the radio, television and the movie screen.

Lee worked for Marvel for decades, eventually becoming its editor-in-chief, and then starting other businesses, including most recently POW! Entertainment.

He said, given the price paid for the issue, "I wish had saved my old Spider-Man books."

Back in the early 1960s, there was never any thought of saving extra issues or the original artwork that made up comics because there was no space to store the artwork or books sent back by the printer.

"So if someone came to deliver our lunch or sandwiches or something, before he'd left we'd say 'Hey, fella! You want to take these books with you or this artwork with you?'" Lee said. "We were giving all that stuff away. Nobody thought to save these books."
