Spider-Man Comics Reading Order
Where to Start with Spider-Man
Spider-Man has been swinging through comics since 1962, making him one of the longest-running characters in the medium. With thousands of issues across multiple series, jumping in can feel daunting — but Spider-Man is actually one of the easiest characters to pick up.
His appeal is universal: a regular person trying to do the right thing while balancing real-life problems with superhero responsibilities. Almost every major Spider-Man run is designed to welcome new readers.
