Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man sure had his work cutout for him in this 1964 Marvel Amazing Spider-Man annual #1. During his first two years in the web-slinging business, Spidey faced many deadly foes but never was the challenge so dangerous as what he was faced with in his first annual edition. Packed with 72 big pages including a celebrated rogue's gallery of Spider-Foe pinups, this amazing comic book saw Spider-Man come face to faces with the Sinister Six for the first time. The lineup for this super-villain dream team is Doctor Octopus, the Vulture, Sandman, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, and Mysterio. Creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko really went all out with this introductory Sinister Six clash, making it an essential classic for die-hard Spider-Fans. Sixty years after its date of publication, finding a decent copy of this comic is no cakewalk. Graded (3.5, White Pages) by CGC, this respectable example fits the bill nicely. The label notes are "Stan Lee story, Steve Ditko cover and art. 1st appearance of The Sinister Six. Thor, Giant-Man, Wasp, Dr. Strange and Fantastic Four cameo. 15 pin-ups."
