Thanks to Musicfighter on our message board for bringing this to my attention. On June 5th, 1962 Amazing Fantasy #15 went on sale. So take time to wish Spidey a happy 50th birthday. What would you put in his birthday card? Write it in the comment section.

Happy birthday old Spider, thanks for being my favorite character for the past 23 years
So officially Peter Parker turned the big five-0 and the current people in charge his tales of high flying adventures can’t even keep all of their fans happy at all, how sad is that? I think even though I’m writing a day later I can’t help but thank the Three most important who brought him to life: Steve Dikto, Jack Kriby, and of course the man who put the words to the character and still does in a everyday enjoyment for us Stan Lee!
i would write happy birthday super powered dead person who made me cry when i saw the video of your death!
Happy DAY AFTER your b-day, Spiderman.
Holy crap I forgot! I was thinking August but that’s just the cover date! Thanks, Crawlspace!
