Marvel Plans a Big Time 50th Anniversary for SPIDER-MAN

 

 
Amazing Fantasy #15 is cover-dated August 1962, meaning that Spider-Man is hitting the half-century mark this summer. And Marvel's not letting that happen without some fanfare.

It's already a busy season for Peter Parker, with The Amazing Spider-Man hitting theaters on July 3, and Marvel is making sure there are plenty of comics out specifically intended to celebrate 50 years of Spider-Man.

In August, along with ongoing series including Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos's Amazing Spider-Man #692 — dubbed "the one, true 50th anniversary Issue of the Amazing Spider-Man" — and Avenging Spider-Man #11, featuring a Spidey/Aunt May team-up, the publisher is also releasing five comics, one out each week in August, celebrating different eras of the character from creators including past Amazing Spider-Man writers Roger Stern and Tom DeFalco.
