According to numerous websites, today is exactly 50 years since the release of Amazing Fantasy No. 15, which marked the debut of the Marvel Comics' famous web-slinger Spdier-Man. That's right, Spider-Man has been in comics for 50 years and still slinging into action in not just comic books, but also other forms of media, such as video games and animated series for example.

Speaking of celebrating Spidey's 50th anniversary, make sure to visit your nearby comic shop on August 22 to pick up a copy of the double-sized The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) No. 692, and there will be variant covers for that issue as well.
