They made a mistake and called him Peter Palmer 😭 I thought that was kinda funny

Just learned that there was a mess up with the Peter Parker name and it was Peter Palmer for a certain amount of comics until Lee and co. became aware of it. This comic already set up the ever present Jonah Jameson arc where Spiderman could never do anything right in his eyes. It also sees Parker and May dealing with the fact that uncle Ben is gone and they might have a financial problem. So Parker/Palmer decides to try find a job. Nothing seems to work out for Parker or Spidey as even when he tries to apply at Fantastic 4 headquarters he gets turned down. Will be interesting to see how this story evolves.

*me leí el primer cómic que sacó "El Mercurio"
Muy bueno, se puede notar aquí que Peter Parker es más sassy y se pelea más con flash no como en las películas que se hace el weon y es bulleado nomás, también es como más creído y me da risa esa amistad-enemistad que tiene con la antorcha humana, eso deberían mostrarlo más en las películas sobretodo ahora que van a sacar los cuatro fantásticos de nuevo. Lo otro es casi igual, que es inteligente, la muerte del tío Ben,etc, lo que si no sé si los cómics venían resumidos pero no se profundizaba mucho en las historias de por si, eran muy cortas y en los villanos no se ve como la parte humana de ellos, a no ser que sea algo que se les agregue a las películas para hacer la trama más vistosa.
Pero eso, muy entretenido conocer de la verdadera historia de Spiderman💖

– Fim da linha pra você, comunista!

– Quero descontar este cheque! – Preciso da sua identidade, por favor! – O uniforme não é o bastante? – Não seja tolo! qualquer um pode usar esta fantasia! o senhor não tem nenhum documento com o nome de homem-aranha? – E-eu não... Queria tanto que essa cena acontecesse nos cinemas affffs

Amo demais ver Peter, um adolescente com cara de homem de 40 anos que tem pensamentos intrusivos falando para ele ser criminoso... (ainda bem que durou segundos)

The Fantastic Four make an appearance. You realize that Fantastic Four is close to where Spider - Man lives. He wants to joing the Fantastic Four, but the they decline his offer. What? Spider Man was looking for a job, and the work the Four do isn't for money. It's to help fight villains and help others.

A fair start to Spiderman’s journey, and an entertaining villain in the Chameleon; I can’t take how bad at socializing the early peter is:
“I need money…I know! Let me just break in to the Fantastic Four’s headquarters! Then, when they find me and try to fight me, I’ll beat the shit out of them! That’ll sure land me a job!”

it was good enough 1963 . I love the atmosphere unfortunately these days ı cant see this ambiance in films or something like that . To think the fact that everythings starting place is here amazing and crazy . İn brief I loved this

[Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I always forget that peter parker was really annoying when he first started as spider-man but the story is really good and chameleon was a good villain for his first story. I really like the old art style and i thought the Peter Palmer misprint was funny.

If amazing fantasy 15 was the perfect introduction to spiderman as a character and his orgin than this is where we get interdouced to the world that would become the back drop to one of the longest and greatest myths in amrician culture

[Ziikii · Rating 3 out of 5]

the irony of spending 1/2 of the comic describing the distressed financial situation may and peter palmer are in and finishing it with spidey being a dog of the empire. he could have changed his mind once he saw the hammer and sickle. boooo!

Loved the infographic vs the Fantastic Four at the end! Also, the pathos of Peter is real.

The Origins hit hard 😫

[Ranette · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Amazing Spider-man is a fun comic about a strange creature that fights him. As he learns the research more experiments take place.

[archie · Rating 4 out of 5]

The mixing of British-esque speak in the comics is so funny to me, I love it so much.

that was good peter palmer

È vero che certi racconti non invecchiano sempre nel migliore dei modi, ma questo Peter PALMER è interessante, mi chiedo se faranno altre storie su di lui... Scherzo, ma Palmer invece che Parker mi ha fatto morire. Tornando seri e nonostante tutto, si lascia leggere ed è un bel racconto, forse un po' troppo "spiegato" per i miei gusti, ma sicuramente lo scopo per me era cominciare da zero a leggere del mio eroe preferito (beh non proprio zero ad essere puntigliosi)
