Library Receives Original Spider-Man Story - The Library Today (Library of Congress)

Library Receives Original Spider-Man Story - The Library Today (Library of Congress): "Library of Congress Receives Original Drawings for the First Spider-Man Story, 'Amazing Fantasy #15'

In a deed of superheroic proportions, an anonymous donor has given the Library of Congress the original artwork by Steve Ditko for Marvel Comics' 'Amazing Fantasy #15' -- the comic book that introduced Spider-Man in August 1962.

This unique set of drawings for 24 pages features the story of the origin of Spider-Man along with three other short stories -- also written by Stan Lee and drawn by Steve Ditko -- for the same issue: 'The Bell-Ringer,' 'Man in the Mummy Case' and 'There Are Martians Among Us.'"
