  Amazing Fantasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The introduction of Spider-Man: Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962).
Amazing Fantasy was a popular comic book that originally began under the name Amazing Adventures in June 1961, running anthological monster, science fiction and suspense stories, and introducing the fledgling Marvel's first continuing character, the paranormal adventurer Dr.
Amazing Fantasy #15, as the debut issue of Marvel's most popular character, is among fans and collectors one of the most important and valued comic books in the history of the medium.

 Amazing Fantasy #1 (2004)
We don't know, by the end of issue #1, if "Amazing Fantasy" is going to be Anya's superheroic name (indeed, we don't even know her last name).
What we do know is that Anya is a street-smart New York kid whose never-back-down, in-your-face attitude is guaranteed to get her in as much trouble with neighborhood bullies as it is with the principal, or even her dad (an investigative reporter who calls her arañita, or "little spider").
Avery's Amazing Fantasy is not a poorly told tale - far from it - but it feels very familiar and, well, not very cutting-edge.

 Amazing Spider-Man, The   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Spider-Man was created as a throwaway character for the final issue of AMAZING FANTASY, dated August 1962.
There was no problem with the title: a second series of AMAZING ADVENTURES, which featured the Inhumans, the Black Widow, and other characters, appeared in the 1970s, and a third series, which reprinted X-Men stories, was published mainly during the early 1980s.
So, instead of closing the door completely to his further appearances, AMAZING FANTASY #15 carried a very upbeat message to the readers about Marvel's brand-new character: this was to be the first of many more issues of the "new" AMAZING FANTASY comic.

Mainstream adult fantasy is unfortunately dominated by an endless stream of multi-volume epics which, no matter how well conceived and written, are basically the same stories and ideas repeatedly warmed over.
Thus, even though I love fantasy and was a fantasy fan long before I became a science fiction fan, my list of "must-read" fantasy books is necessarily short.

 HISTORY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It was this change that swayed the nearly dead 'Danger Stories' and as of issue #13, the comic had began to outsell 'Amazing Adult Fantasy Adventures', AMAZING's then flagship title.
It was this last statement that led to the public's accusations of communist sympathies, coupled with his Russian past, fondness for wearing red, and suspicious hatred of fascism.
The accusations hit AMAZING COMICS GROUP once more, forcing the cancellation of the once popular Danger Stories with it's double sized final issue #46 (October 1943); an extravagant tale where Dangerous Joel tunnels into a German castle, poses as a German Baron, invites Adolph Hitler, and challenges him to a fencing match, killing him.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Amazing Spider-Man
Amazing Adult Fantasy ("adult" denoting maturity of taste, not necessarily of legal status), which showcased the unconventional art of Steve Ditko (as directed by writer/editor Stan Lee), was the birthplace of Spider-Man. The adjective which, to this day, is titularly associated with the hero is a reference to that place of origin.
For another, the comic he debuted in, never a high seller, was about to be cancelled.
Re-titled Amazing Fantasy in a last-ditch effort to expand readership by not appearing restrictive, it ended with #15 (August, 1962) —; the very same issue that contained Spidey's debut.

Amazing Fantasy #15, the lame duck title that contained Spider-Man's 1st appearance
With Amazing Adult Fantasy to be cancelled and therefore the issue's contents being a low priority, Lee published this Spider-man in No. 15 (August 1962,) dropping the "adult" and making the title simply Amazing Fantasy No. 15.
So he learned that, "with great power, comes great responsibility." No. 15 was the last issue of the title and in March 1963 Spider-man received his own title, The Amazing Spider-man No. 1.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Doctor Droom
The most amazing part of the process was Droom's transformation into an Asian with funny eyebrows, apparently because the Western body type wasn't capable of being anywhere near inscrutable enough for the role.
Doctor Droom never appeared on the cover of Amazing Adventures (which was reserved for such terrible menaces as Manoo and Monsteroso) but, skipping only one issue, he lasted as long as the title did.
That was no great achievement, however, as the title was changed with #7 (December, 1961) to Amazing Adult Fantasy, and the format changed with it — no more monsters and no more Doctor Droom, just a full comic each month of little fantasy stories by Lee and Ditko.

 Steve Ditko - Marvel Universe
Ditko and writer-editor Stan Lee created Spider-Man in Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962), and shortly thereafter Doctor Strange, in Strange Tales #110 (July 1963).
Ditko also drew many stories of the Hulk, first in the final issue of The Incredible Hulk (#6, March 1963), and then in Tales to Astonish, launching the character's feature in issue #60 (Oct. 1964) of that split book, and continuing through #67 (May 1965).
Often overshadowed by his Amazing Spider-Man work, Ditko's "Doctor Strange" stories were equally remarkable, showcasing surrealistic mystical landscapes and increasingly head-trippy visuals that helped make the feature a favorite of college students, according to contemporaneous accounts.

It's a new fantasy wargame from Columbia Games which uses their classic nifty wooden block system which I have enjoyed in the past with their historical wargames Victory, East Front, Bobby Lee, etc. So I was happy when I found Jeffles had bought a copy.
