CGC-graded Amazing Fantasy #15 Sells for $271,000 in ComicLink Sale
Posted on 3/11/2024
The first appearance of Spider-Man was one of three classic comic books, each graded by Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®), that realized six-figure prices in ComicLink’s Winter Featured Auction on February 27, 2024.
At the top of the sale was an Amazing Fantasy #15 graded CGC 8.0 that sold for $271,000. The book features the first appearance of Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1962. After the character’s immediate success in Amazing Fantasy #15, Marvel rushed Spider-Man into his own monthly series, and he has become one of the most recognizable superheroes of all time. There are more than 3,800 graded examples of this comic in the CGC Census, but only 25 in the Universal 8.0 grade and just 39 recorded in higher Universal grades.
