They rejected it. So, he revamped the concept. Instead of a kid whose magic ring transforms him into a blond-haired guy in silvery-white clothes, armed with a web-shooting gun, he becomes a masked crime-fighter dressed in green-and-gold who can wall-crawl like a fly. He offers the concept to MLJ--WWII predecessor of Archie Comics--and thus is born...Fly Man!<br /><br />Almost 20 years later (circa 1963), Marvel Comics' sci-fi anthology book "Amazing Fantasy" is going to be discontinued with Issue #15. Stan Lee asks Jack Kirby for something that will basically (to use modern parlance) jump the shark. A teenage superhero who's his own guy, right from the start. No side-kicking, whatsoever!<br /><br /> The King dusts off his ex-partner's original concept for Fly Man (whose still languishing in publication limbo, at this point). But, with one minor alteration. The kid's adult persona will still have a web-shooting gun. His costume, however, will be red-and-blue with a cobweb pattern and a cowl that doubles as a mask. Thus is born...<br /><br /> ...Spiderman!<br /><br /> Stan Lee reportedly liked everything except the magic ring, the web gun, and the lack of a hyphen. So, the job of illustrating what Stan had in mind went to Steve Ditko. And the rest...is history.Carycomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16657443977195909129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-2088800784350344222019-02-08T03:29:02.431-05:002019-02-08T03:29:02.431-05:00Blip-Blip Blip-Blip From Tomy.Blip-Blip Blip-Blip From Tomy.Brother Kellymatthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034489356188286595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-20095715660199249432019-02-08T03:28:05.778-05:002019-02-08T03:28:05.778-05:00Thank You @LLM.Thank You @LLM.Brother Kellymatthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034489356188286595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-51306578062301460642019-02-08T03:27:22.227-05:002019-02-08T03:27:22.227-05:00@Cary Comic I never heard or knew there was a The ...@Cary Comic I never heard or knew there was a The Silver Spider.
