First off, sweet copy! Also, all of my pics (so far) are in my registry sets.  You can copy images or the image address and just paste 'em. Works for me! 

Hope to see more of your collection!

THANK YOU!  Here's my 12...

It's great to see more people participating on this thread...Spider-Man deserves it. It's been a real joy to revisit all these great covers and discuss our favorite web head. We started at AF #15 on page 725 of the thread if anyone wants to savor all that's been shared and catch up. We're currently posting images of ASM issues in order along with ASM annuals and early Spider-Man crossover covers. I thought this format would give everyone more opportunities to jump in by including annuals and the famous crossovers like Daredevil #1 (which I believe fits in right around ASM #12), TTA #57, ASM Annual #1 and Avengers #11, which are coming up soon. We might need @KirbyJack to provide another chronology to give us some technical direction since we're now past ASM #7 and Strange Tales #115 and entering the murky waters of more arrival date details. 

I don't currently have a Daredevil #1 so if someone can post their copy we'll work out the chronology between ASM #12 and DD #1.

OK!  

As far as chronology, there's always this:  https://www.chronologyproject.com/spidey.php

But publication order is what I believe we're after.  Now... where the heck is my TTA #57...

Yeah, as far as chronology goes, I’m out past this point. I swiped the list from @rodan57 anyway (we agreed, but I still swiped it).

I can finally jump in for something here:

I'm glad your DD #1 got you in the mix with what is definitely an early Spider-Man cover. That's a beautiful book and I love the Stan Lee signature...nice marker color and placement.

I hope to find a 5.0 WP with a better wrap someday.  Still great colors on this copy, so this placeholder will do for now...

For chronology, I use Mike's Amazing World for cover dates vs. release dates:

http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/main/index.php

 

ASM11 and DD1 both have cover dates of 4/1964.  Per this site, ASM11 was released on 1/10/1964 and DD1 was released on 2/4/1964.  ASM12 has a cover date of 5/1964 and per this site was released on 2/11/1964.  TTA57 would tie ASM14 with a cover date of 7/1964.  Per this site, TT57 was released on 4/2/1964 while ASM14 was released a week later on 4/9/1964.

Excellent information. That's very helpful. Thanks!

I also want to mention that I enjoy seeing all your white pages copies. I'm amazed by how bright the white areas of the covers are on many of your books...very cool (and uniform) collection.

I actually have a few copies of this issue and this one is handy on my phone, so I'm posting this one.

Thanks so much!  Even though I've kept them all uniform in grade 5.0 with WPs for the Ditko run, I've "upgraded" the eye appeal on many copies by replacing them over time with copies I've found with better wraps and colors that still meet the linear 5.0 WP criteria I've set for the run.

I think my brain was working at half capacity the other morning when I mentioned the Kirby cover gap between ASM #10 and #252 since the very next issue (ASM #11) is credited as a Ditko and Kirby cover. I was going off of the Jack Kirby Cover CGC registry set list, which surprisingly does not include ASM #11 as a Kirby cover. I was a little shocked to look again at the ASM #11 and #12 covers side by side to see how differently Doc Ock was drawn...fabulous detail on issue #11. Then, #12 reverts back to a more "primitive" (I don't mean that in a bad way) rendering of Doc Ock seen in early Ditko Spider-Man artwork.

Your collection is the envy of all who oCd it. 
Seriously, the patience and discipline on display is impressive!
