Rare comic book featuring Spider-Man’s debut could fetch $400G at auction

The price of Spider-Man's comic debut in an upcoming auction will get fans’ spider-senses tingling.

A copy of "Amazing Fantasy" No. 15 from 1962 — which introduced the world to the web-slinging character — could fetch $400,000 or more when it goes up for auction this week.

The cover shows Spider-Man swinging from a web with a captive bad guy. "Though the world may mock Peter Parker, the timid teen-ager … it will soon marvel at the awesome might of … Spider-Man!" the cover states.

The issue's newsstand price was 12 cents.

The copy hitting the auction block was graded near mint, 9.4 out of a possible 10.0 by the grading company CGC, featuring crisp off-white pages.

"This dream copy looks as if it was read once, very carefully, and then put away," Heritage wrote in its auction listing.

Walter Yakoboski, 60, originally bought the issue for $1,200 in 1980, and plans to use the proceeds from the comic's sale to buy his late father's 17-acre vegetable farm in Calverton on eastern Long Island.

"This is the first time I really sold anything," Yakoboski said. "I have had it for 36 years and it's just time."
