The one that started it all.

How many issues would it take to tell this origin story today?

>>78609749
Casual as fuck question here, how was Spiderman different from other superheroes at the time? Also why can't the comic make up its mind whether it's Spiderman, Spider-Man or Spider Man?

>>78610121
It took Bendis 6 issues in USM.

>how was Spiderman different from other superheroes at the time?

He was a teenager. A book nerd who didn't have any friends

>>78609843
Breaking the story into chapters like this makes me believe Kirby had a hand in making this comic.

>>78610319
6 issues ain't too bad really but we all know Bendis is the master of hacky decompression.

>>78610449
12 times the original length.

>>78610764
So? The original was expositiony and jump around a bunch. One could do. Lot more with an origin story than presenting the bare bones.

>>78609739
Whatever happened to spidey's web armpits?

>>78611019
He tried to wash them with the rest of his costume but they turned pink.

>>78609829
That original mask is surprisingly un-retarded. Have they referenced it since?

Silver Age comics give me boners.

>>78609749
Didn't Gwen call Peter a wallflower in ASM?
Pretty nice reference if so. I think I remember her saying that.

>>78609770
It is damned near impossible not to read the narration in Stan Lee's voice.

>>78613651
It's Liz in the picture you fucking casual.

How did this guy not end up being a super villain?

>>78613989
He never said it wasn't, you doughnut.

>>78614138
Why am I such a faggot over my autistic hobbies?

Sorry, the anon I insulted.

>>78614111
>How did this guy not end up being a super villain?

Uncle Ben died.

>>78609858
Shame we only got a taste of sellout Spider-Man in the Raimi movie. Seeing the power go to Spidey's head like this is pretty damned cool.

>>78614588
Should note I'm also talking about Spider-Man 3. He had the symbiote excuse, then. Seeing him naturally have these thoughts is what I'm liking.

>>78614111
Uncle Ben dying was an eye opener to him, also early Peter Parker was a dick and an angry nerd.

>>78610267
I know that the newspapers and people called him different variations. Wasn't paying too much attention to the narration boxes.

As for what made him different; he was just some nerdy spaz who got shat on by his classmates all the time. Sudden;y he had superpowers, and wanted to use em to both his own advantage, as well as to take care of his aunt and uncle. Then he fucked up.

Unretarded how?
>>78614111
There's been so many What If's showcasing Peter becoming a bad guy.

It's a simple facemask. Nothing flashy or gimmicky. A good modern comparison would be Daredevil's bandanna in the Netflix series. Seems like something he quickly improvised as an afterthought, which was the point.

Which would you say is the one that ended it all?

>>78615144
oh, you mean the one he wore during the wrestling match?

>>78615273
I thought that's what he was talking about. My mistake. I don't see anything exceptionally bad about the one he ended up making, though, aside from thinner lenses.

>>78609784
His hands are honking like a real spider!

>those eyes

>>78610121
It'd be a full trade length arc
So 6 or 7 issues

Dan Slott'd have him in the Spider-Mobile, built by Doc Ock by the end of episode 1. Also Doc Ock would be Peter's best friend, and his mentor.

What I'm trying to say is fuck Slott.

>>78615802
Watching Spider-Man become a celebrity dickbag would be worth expanding.

So if Peter Parker didn't get spider powers in the modern age, he would be a school shooter.

A supreme Spiderman

I miss the original red and black suit.
