History of Spiderman

         The tremendous success of Spiderman made Marvel Comics one of the key players in the comic-book publishing business, while creator Stan Lee earned the distinction of being the youngest comic book editor in 1963. By 1977, Spiderman had his very own newspaper strip, in over 500 newspapers worldwide! Of all the superhero comic strips that we have seen, the one that has had the longest run is that of the Spiderman. Till the late 1990s, Spiderman’s adventures used to be scripted by Stan Lee, and since the late 1980s, it was Larry Lieber, Lee’s younger brother, who drew the strips for newspapers, on behalf of Marvel Comics.

         Spiderman’s real name is Peter Parker, who is a mild-mannered photographer. After being bitten by a spider that was radioactive, Parker develops superhuman qualities, which he then uses to fight crime.

         The world got its first animated Spiderman TV series in the year 1967, on ABC. Spiderman has also had a successful stint at the movies, with three movies till date.
