The amazing Spider-Man cover 51-100
Spider-Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by
Marvel Comics
.
Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko,
Spider-Man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug.
1962).
Lee and Ditko conceived the character as an orphan being raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben,
and as a teenager, having to deal with the normal struggles of adolescence in addition to those of a costumed crime-fighter.
Spider-Man's creators gave him super strength and agility, the ability to cling to most surfaces,
shoot spider-webs using wrist-mounted devices of his own invention, which he calls "web-shooters,"
and react to danger quickly with his "spider-sense," enabling him to combat his foes.
