Hard to find a centered one in a good grade! I've noticed it's kind of like that with the ASM #122/121 also...

 

Just a Thursday night observation. New/Old guy back on the board and loving my new collecting journey....

Welcome back!  Your right. I personally prefer a well centered book.

If he wasn’t on the cover, it would probably never get mentioned.

and the prior issue, Strange Tales 114 has the Acrobat impersonating Captain America. The house of ideas was in need of new ideas.

Spidey has a 2-panel cameo. Thats it.  It's mainly flashbacks and the Torch impersonating Spider-Man. Still counts for something.

Your post got me thinking about it.

AF 15, ASM 1, 2, Strange Tales ann 2, ASM 3, 4, FF ann 1, 5, and 6 are the first nine appearances.

ASM 7 and ST 115 are both cover dated December 1963. Anyone know which one hit the stands first? A Top Ten List teeters on the result!

Good catch. They completely left that issue out of the Chronicle.

AF 15, ASM 1,2, (Strange Tales 2), 3, 4, (FF annual 1), 5, 6,7, 8   and so it goes until his next appearance in Tales to Astonish 57 that takes place between issues 14 and 15. This info was from Marvel's Spider-Man Chronicle that covers every appearance from the first 50 years. Great book if you're a Spidey fan.

At this point I need to ask, When does Bronze end?  I've read 1982 and 1985.  Which is it?  I know I won't get a unanimous answer, but I'd still like to hear what you guys think...

Overstreet = 1984 (49th edition), eBay = 1983, Wikipedia =1985.   I hope that helps.

First Miles? First prototype Miles?

In addition, long before Miles there was Spider-Man 2099. Miguel O' Hara

You're not wrong about The Rock getting dragged on his tweet about this.

The top response notes that Captain America's $370 million in 2011 is equivalent to $490 million today. And then there's the ones like this:

 

Yup and the first Avenger had a budget of 140 million. In his trying to rationalize a comparison that movie was successful compared to his.  The film made up for more than a third of its production cost on DVD sales alone. It was very profitable. 

Definitely cool with Spider-Man to Iceman cooling off Spider-Man   (slight age overlap)

Still cool to definitely cool!

Great soundtrack!  Right out of the gate "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues. One of the best Christmas songs ever made.
