Did A Fifties Halloween Costume Inspire Spider-Man Costume Design?
Spider-Man was created in 1962, but could his costume have been inspired by a child's Halloween costume from the 50's? It's a curious case indeed.
The NY Post examines the situation with collector and dealer BenCimino who discovers while flipping through an assortment of collectibles he recently bought, a familiar-looking costume simply called Spider Man (sans hyphen). Thinking it was an actual Marvel Spider-Man costume,Cimino paid no mind.
“I didn’t think twice about it,” Cimino tells The Post. He tossed it in his basement.
But on closer examination, he discovered something different entirely. Instead of Spider-Man's trademark red and blue webbed costume, this was yellow and black with webs everywhere is no particular pattern.
