Spiderman Background Information
When Spiderman was created in the 1960s, even Stan Lee was not sure that the comic would be a hit. But much to his surprise, The Amazing Spiderman turned out to be one of the longest running and best selling comics of all time. Fans loved the fact that Spiderman was really just an ordinary guy, that he had money problems, that despite his superhero status, he had a hard time getting the girl.
The original design for Spiderman was rejected by the publishers because they thought he looked too much like Captain America. The color scheme and costume pattern were similar heroes of the day. The creators made sure that no one could see Peter Parker’s face, to keep his identity secret. The suit was also designed to hide equipment like his web shooters.
The Spiderman costume was then designed to be completely different from the other. Over the years, Spiderman’s costume has survived largely intact despite the many different versions out there.
