The Amazing Spider-Man #6 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of the Lizard, cover-dated November 1963, by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Curt Connors became one of the most adapted Spider-Man antagonists, and this is one of the more attainable early-ASM keys.
How to identify it
Amazing Spider-Man #6, November 1963, 12-cent cover.
Common mistakes
Facsimile and reprint editions circulate. Confirm the 1963 printing in the indicia before paying original prices.
Grade considerations
Standard early-ASM concerns: spine stress, corner wear, and tanning. High-grade copies are scarce and priced far above mid-grade.
