57?? Jeez… I started reading when Spidey was celebrating his 25th anniversary. And now he’s been running twice as long. I feel old 🙁 🙁 🙁

NO HYPHEN!
Will never get over the fact that Spidey is older than my dad! What a great panel to start on, I don’t think a single image sums Peter up better than this one. It doesn’t get as much attention as other iconic moments from Amazing Fantasy #15, but the image of a sulking nerd being teased by his peers, only for the shadow of the hero he will become to be projected on the wall behind him, is pure perfection.
