Amazing Fantasy

Kamala is given several issues to explore her origin story, and as a result, seems like a much stronger and detailed character. However, I am sure that if I read and analyzed the first several issues of The Amazing Spider-Man that followed Amazing Fantasy #15, Peter's coming-of-age story would become much more interesting and have more in common with Ms. Marvel.

The elements of storytelling based on fantasy began in historic times as a way to explain the unknown. Literature has evolved since those times and many of the unknowns have now been explained through rational scientific methodologies.

Another one of my favorite books at this time, and still is today, is A Wrinkle in Time. One of the many reasons I loved this book was because it explores the depth of…
