Originally created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Spider-Man brought together the best of both creators for one of the most enduringly popular characters of all time. Stan Lee provided the deep emotional background and conflict essential to the character while Ditko provided the brilliant costume design and a svelt character design that contrasts the broad designs of Jack Kirby. Following the departure of Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr. began the art work on the title and soon developed the signature style that would eternally define the characters.
Beginning with the high school years, Peter Parker quickly graduates and attends Empire State University. While the original cast of friends was limited to high school bully Flash Thompson and Daily Bugle secretary Betty Brant, the cast was soon expanded to include his college roommate Harry Osborn and the dueling love interests of Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy. Along the way, Spider-Man builds a colorful and impressive rogues gallery including Doctor Octopus, Electro, Sandman, Mysterio, Kraven the Hunter, the Rhino, and the Green Goblin |
