Spider-Man's debut appearance in
Amazing Fantasy # 15 was also that
title's swan song - the story goes
that it was to be ditched to make way
for the return of western hero, the
Two-Gun Kid, so Stan Lee decided to do
a story in a slightly 'different' style.  By
the time the impressive sales figures were
in, it was too late to reverse that decision
but Spidey was soon given his own book,
although it would be a few months before
it appeared, with a Mar 1963 cover date.
Thor, also on debut this month, would be
up to his 8th issue by then.
The Two-Gun Kid, absent since
Apr 1961, was still three months
away
from resuming at this point.
