Maru and I began watching one of the more recent Spider-Man films—a tastefully animated adventure where Peter Parker mentors the “new” Spider-Man, Miles Morales.
As the character shot his webs and flung himself about the screen, I couldn’t help but remember one of the first posts on this blog about Stan Lee, the creator of Spider-Man, and how we almost missed out on this fantastic superhero.
It’s true, and it still baffles me, most people don’t like spiders, so we shouldn’t love Spider-Man, yet he’s the most famous and loved superhero by an order of magnitude.
