Happy birthday old Spider, thanks for being my favorite character for the past 23 years
So officially Peter Parker turned the big five-0 and the current people in charge his tales of high flying adventures can’t even keep all of their fans happy at all, how sad is that? I think even though I’m writing a day later I can’t help but thank the Three most important who brought him to life: Steve Dikto, Jack Kriby, and of course the man who put the words to the character and still does in a everyday enjoyment for us Stan Lee!
i would write happy birthday super powered dead person who made me cry when i saw the video of your death!
Happy DAY AFTER your b-day, Spiderman.
Holy crap I forgot! I was thinking August but that’s just the cover date! Thanks, Crawlspace!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR SPIDER-MAN!
