Brian Cronin, Comic Book Resources; How Stan Lee Helped Bring Humanity to Superheroes
"Spider-Man's introduction in Amazing Fantasy #15 achieved two
notable goals. One, it took the idea of Reed Richards' cosmic ray
screw-up leading to the creation of the Fantastic Four to a whole other
level, as now Peter Parker's selfishness almost directly led to the
death of his beloved Uncle Ben, giving Spider-Man a painful reminder why
he has to be a superhero and two, it took a teen hero and had him not
as a sidekick or a younger version of an older hero, but as THE hero."
