259. Spider-man: The Black Costume Saga and the rise of Venom

Show notes provided by Arco Esposito

Imagine for a moment that’s it’s May 1984 and you’re at your comic book spot on a Wednesday picking up your favorite books and you see something that is both exciting and alien (pun intended)! You spy the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #252 and do a double take! Who is this on the cover in a black costume?! Where is the red and blue Spider-Man we all know and love?! Well that’s how it was for a generation of spidey fans who were witness to the greatest costume change in comics history! And what a change it was! How else can you describe all that came from this momentous occasion?? Well listen in as James, Joe and Spidey lover Arco go into detail how they were personally affected by it as well as the Marvel universe overall! Some things are too good to keep to ourselves and we are pleased to share our Black Costume love with you all!
