Spider-Man's origin story, first appearing in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, is a groundbreaking and influential tale that redefined the superhero genre. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, the story introduces Peter Parker, a relatable teenage protagonist who gains incredible spider-powers after being bitten by a radioactive arachnid. Through tragedy and triumph, Peter learns that "with great power there must also come great responsibility," becoming a hero driven by a strong moral compass. This innovative approach to superhero storytelling, focusing on the everyday struggles and personal growth of the man behind the mask, set a new standard for the genre and solidified Spider-Man's place as a cultural icon. Six decades later, the webslinger's origin remains a timeless and resonant tale of power, responsibility, and finding the hero within.
