Once upon a time... there was a shy teenager from Queens, a misunderstood nerd with glasses, teased by the guys at school and ignored by girls. He was a straight-A student, who live with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. And his name was Peter Parker.
One day fate showed up in the form of a radioactive spider bite. When a burglar broke into his house - one whom Peter had allowed to escape hours earlier - and killed Uncle Ben, Peter learned the hard way that with great power, there must also come great responsibility.
That night, narrated in Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug 1962) by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Marvel's most popular hero was born. His coming of age has inspired generations of readers of all ages. Spider-Man has been with us for 60 years. He has grown up with us, he is us. And this is his amazing story.
