Beyond Amazing: Deconstructing Amazing Fantasy #15 (Guest: Tom Brevoort)
Continuing our celebration of the 60th anniversary of Spider-Man’s origins in Amazing Fantasy #15, we are going to take a look at the prime specimen itself. That’s right, we are talking about Spider-Man’s origin in the pages of Amazing Fantasy #15!
But that wouldn’t be enough! So, we brought back Marvel editor and contributor on the upcoming book Spider-Man: Panel by Panel, the equally legendary Tom Brevoort to help us break down the story one page at a time. Tom has access to high-resolution scans of the original art pages of Amazing Fantasy #15, so he was able to provide incredibly detailed knowledge on the history of the book and it’s production.
