The Origin of Spidery-Man – Comic

LOL! Kerry Callen created this silly Spider-Man origin comic originally for MAD Magazine! Here’s what he had to say about it:

“I was lucky enough to create original content for MAD Magazine until they went to mostly reprints the last year or so. I enjoyed all of it, but one of my favorite pieces was this 3-page parody I wrote and drew of Spider-Man’s origin.

Batman is often shown as a bat-shape in the comics, The first panel of my story is supposed to be “Spidery-Man” in a spider-shape. Not sure if it’s obvious or not.

I didn’t try to create an exact copy of Steve Ditko’s art style. Instead, I drew in my own style as if it was heavily influenced by Ditko.”
