Spider-Man Reading Order from Amazing Fantasy #15 to Marvel Legacy!

What you will find below is the most complete listing of Spider-Man comics in chronological order you’ll probably find. The principles of this reading order are simple: Flashbacks are listed of when the “present” occurs, ensuring that issue is placed in the order it should be read. Issues are kept intact, and most notable appearances of the Spider-Man in other comics that are considered canon are included. Also, each issue contains a number (subject to change) listing its place in the order, in regards to the effective number of Amazing Spider-Man issues.

Where to begin Reading Spider-Man?

With publication of Spider-Man comics spanning decades, not everyone will want to start reading off of the Spider-Man reading order from the first issue, and for those who do want to, you’ll probably want to start with a more accessible trade paperback. Alternatively, you can read our Timeline of Major Spider-Man Events to get caught up to what’s happened in Spidey’s life as of yet. Here are few suggestions.
