A good post is worth repeating. This one, with some added editing, is from over eight years ago.
It was bad enough when the 1960’s was 50 years ago, but 60?? In June, 1962, unknown to me as a little boy in Wisconsin, Amazing Fantasy #15 was on newsstands, featuring the first appearance of Spider-Man.
Also that month, 60 years ago today, in fact, was B-Day. The Beatles had their first recording session with George Martin at EMI. John, Paul, and George, with Pete Best on drums.

Blog Post Extra: Someone has pegged the distribution date of Amazing Fantasy #15 as June 5, 1962, 60 years ago yesterday. Also released that day was the debut of another Marvel Comics Group bug, in the person of Ant-Man.

Numerical data on comic book sales is available on ComicChron. Between 1964 and 1965, what was the top-selling Marvel comic? Was it Spider-Man? The Fantastic Four? Neither title even appears in the list, and I suspect this is an error of omission.

From 1965 to 1966, Spidey and the FF suddenly loomed large, and the relative rankings of Superman and Batman made a big swap. That was THE time when comic books and fandom exploded, bringing me along with it, thanks to the Batman TV show.
