Time to go “Beyond Amazing” as the world starts celebrating all things about a certain friendly neighborhood hero this August! Every August 1st, western fans and comic readers commemorate “National Spider-Man Say” - which of course means its a celebration of all things Peter Parker and his alter ego, The Amazing Spider-Man!
Since the character made his debut in the pages of “Amazing Fantasy #15” with a cover date of August 1962 six decades ago, Spider-Man has grown into a beloved hero and popculture icon - with his amazing world and adventures only expanding thanks to various appearances in film, television, toys, children’s books, and so on. In fact the legacy of Peter expands beyond his own horizons, with other heroes like Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Silk, Spider-Man 2099, and the rest of the Spider-Verse expanding the great web of destiny and adventures in the Marvel multiverse!
60 years of Amazing indeed! Happy Spider-Man Day everyone!
