About Spider-Man
In the summer of 1962, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created Spider-Man, a teenage underdog turned super-powered hero. Casual readers quickly became attached to the wall-crawling wonder. The character was as appealing for his sarcastic, self-deprecating humor and familiar personal challenges as he was for his acrobatic super-powered heroism. Peter Parker would embody as a mantra his Uncle Ben’s fateful words, “with great power comes great responsibility” and these are certainly words to live by. For sixty years now, readers have been engrossed with Peter’s life as he has navigated relationships while finding it both a blessing and curse to have been bitten by that radioactive spider. It endowed him with amazing strength and agility, a “Spidey sense” of impending danger, the ability to stick to walls and climb almost any surface, yet this was paired with a heavy sense of responsibility and the inability to get close to those he loved most for fear that harm would befall them, and it often did. Spider-Man (and Peter Parker) is a household name not just in his country of origin but worldwide. The character’s outstanding cinematic success has been repeated time and again within both self-titled movies and guest starring in others.
