Thanks to Musicfighter on our message board for bringing this to my attention. On June 5th, 1962 Amazing Fantasy #15 went on sale. So take time to wish Spidey a happy 50th birthday. What would you put in his birthday card? Write it in the comment section.

Happy birthday old Spider, thanks for being my favorite character for the past 23 years
So officially Peter Parker turned the big five-0 and the current people in charge his tales of high flying adventures can’t even keep all of their fans happy at all, how sad is that? I think even though I’m writing a day later I can’t help but thank the Three most important who brought him to life: Steve Dikto, Jack Kriby, and of course the man who put the words to the character and still does in a everyday enjoyment for us Stan Lee!
i would write happy birthday super powered dead person who made me cry when i saw the video of your death!
Happy DAY AFTER your b-day, Spiderman.
Holy crap I forgot! I was thinking August but that’s just the cover date! Thanks, Crawlspace!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR SPIDER-MAN!
Happy 50th, Web-Head!
Thanks for teaching generations of us about the power of responsibility.
(Well, until around 10 years ago, anyway…Ugh!)
Face it Tiger, you just sold your marriage to the devil.
Thank you for making my life interesting.(-; @#3 That is hilarious.
F*** YEAH!!!! 50!!!! ROCK ON WEB-HEAD!!!!
~Lament~
Happy Birthday Spidey!! Thanks for all the imagination over the years!
Who cares? According to Marvel, the character must never age…

Face it tiger, you threw away the jackpot!
Thanks for the mention Brad!
Happy birthday Spidey, the amazing brother I wish I had!
