Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962)
This comic book plot is written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko. Features the first appearances of Spider-Man, Aunt May, Uncle Ben, Flash Thompson, and Liz Allan. High school student Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider, thus gaining the proportionate strength, speed, and agility of a spider, along with a precognitive "spider-sense" and later creating a web-shooting device. Peter becomes Spider-Man, an instant TV sensation, but coming out of a TV studio one day, Peter does not stop an escaping burglar, claiming it is not his problem. A few days later, he comes home to find his Uncle Ben has been shot and goes to track down the murderer, only to find that it was the same burglar that he had let escape a few days earlier. Peter blames himself for his uncle's death and realizes that with great power there must also come great responsibility.
This issue was released on June 5, 1962, and was published in August 1962.

As they try to leave, Norman reminds Peter that he will kill everyone he loves and they deserve it just by knowing him. Facing indecision, Spider-Man remembers that every time he saves Norman, someone always dies. First Gwen, then Harry, then Flash; Norman would never stop killing.
