Spider-Man: 60 marvelous years. / by Marvel

"Once upon a time ... there was a shy teenager from Queens, a misunderstood nerd with glasses, teased by the guys at school and ignored by the girls. He was a straight-A student who lived with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. And his name was Peter Parker. One day fate showed up in the form of a radioactive spider bite. When a burglar broke into his house - one whom Peter had allowed to escape earlier - and killed Uncle Ben, Peter learned the hard way that with great power, there must also come great responsibility. That night, as told in Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Marvel's most popular hero was born. His coming of age has inspired generations of readers of all ages. Spider-Man has been with us for sixty years. He has grown up with us, he is us. And this is his amazing story as told by 60 marvellous years of comics"--Publisher's description.
