The most iconic first chapter in manga history. A lonely boy. A village that despises him. A forbidden scroll. And a truth that will change everything.

Naruto Chapter 1, "Uzumaki Naruto!" by Masashi Kishimoto, published September 21, 1999 in Weekly Shonen Jump, launched one of the best-selling manga series of all time with over 250 million copies sold worldwide. We retell every panel, every beat, every emotional gut-punch of this masterpiece — from the graffiti on the Hokage Monument to the tears on Naruto's face when he finally wears the headband.

What happens when the greatest hunter in the Marvel Universe finally catches his prey? In November 1987, writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Mike Zeck unleashed one of the most psychologically devastating Spider-Man stories ever told. This is the opening chapter of Kraven's Last Hunt, and it begins with a burial.

In Amazing Spider-Man #293, Peter Parker hosts a housewarming party with his new wife Mary Jane, unaware that Kraven the Hunter is preparing the final hunt of his life. What follows is a masterclass in comic book storytelling - a dark, literary, deeply human epic that was voted the greatest Spider-Man story of all time.
