his tune when the sales numbers came in
sold out every copy
tomorrow morning spider-man page one
with a decent picture this time teenage
mutant ninja spider much of spider-man’s
appeal comes from his combo of superhero
stories with everyday problems teens can
relate to Spidey’s feelings of
inadequacy and shyness the idea of
having to earn money getting dates plus
finding time for school work before him
teen characters were stuck assisting the
adult superheroes in short shorts the
green Goblin’s greatest foe a mere boy
impossible a true maverick never
conforms to the norm spider-man actually
breaks all the established comic rules

you curious why Spidey preferred to just
shoot his web the answer is simple Fox
television enforced strict censorship
against violence though they couldn’t
block all of his blows what costly
costume even though Peter Parker shows
his own Spidey costume in Sam Raimi’s
film trilogy the actual props cost more
than Parker could make in a year
actually make that a few years they cost
a hundred thousand dollars apiece
four of these pricey props were stolen
from the set so Columbia Pictures
responded with a hefty twenty five
thousand dollar reward for their safe
return give you 50 bucks but it didn’t
work the costumes remain missing I could
get more than that on eBay we’re
guessing some diehard fan is wearing
them in his parents basement right now
cool Spidey outfit McGuire whole loving
that expensive costume we’ll get this
right up in the crotch a little bit too
despite the enormous cost Tobey Maguire
insisted on being able to use the
washroom without taking off his suit and
going through the tedious refitting
process I know what it feels like this
meant adding a vent in the rear
grab-grab
mega crab hay costume thief if you use
the Maguire hole you should probably
just keep it baptism by fire 2012’s
amazing spider-man is a do-over for the
franchise though it was filmed on the
same Universal Studios Hollywood backlot
as the original trilogy however in 2008
the lot was rebuilt between the two
series after it burned to the ground
pretty symbolic wouldn’t you say
artificial web-shooter in 2012’s amazing
spider-man like in the comics our hero
uses a custom-built web shooter to fire
a special synthetic polymer adhesive Sam
Raimi’s films changed this by giving
Spidey the innate power to shoot web
turns out the director didn’t think
audiences would buy the idea that a team
could engineer such a high-tech piece of
equipment Spidey’s artificial web
shooter can only discharge when a sensor
is pressed with superhuman force using
his two Center fingers this not only
stops him from firing when he is making
a fist it also stays true to Spidey’s
oddball sense of humor as it resembles
the American Sign Language phrase I love
you
the tragic catch in 1973 comedy writer
Gerry Conway and his editorial team
shook things up by killing Peter
Parker’s girlfriend Gwen Stacy they felt
the character had grown stale and Spidey
needed the tragic hero edge of course
comics are kind of like soap operas no
one ever really dies
The Jackal eventually brought Gwen back
as a clone the Clone Wars after the
successful Clone Saga Marvel Comics
created a second such story in which
Peter found out he was a copy of the
real spider-man and the real Spidey was
in fact Ben Riley well they can’t all be
winning ideas fans were pissed to find
out they had read about a fake and
boycotted Marvel this is starting to
sound like a bad comic book plot it gets
worse the comic book makers decided to
give Pete his identity back and made
clear he was the real spider-man via an
elaborate ploy by the Green Goblin Oh
