Sighh, I miss the old black costume. It was a good time to be a Spidey fan. The t-shirt above is one of my favorites from the new batch of Marvel T-Shirts we got in but that's probably because I love that look on Spidey.
Made from 100% Cotton, this soft, black t-shirt features Spiderman in his classic black, back-up threads outlined and filled with a thick, and very slightly distressed, white screen-print! When Spiderman first donned the Black costume in the 1980's, it was an overly parasitic symbiote looking for a warm body, a hot meal and a writhing soul. Since that partnership ended...poorly...Spiderman refused to wear the black duds, even those stitched together by his very own Spider-hands!
Of course, as is natural with Spiderman, things..deteriorated. Remember the Civil War? Remember how making his identity public targeted those he loved? Remember when May got shot and MJ got...upset? Yep? Well, remember when Spidey got mad as hell and refused to take it anymore? Yeah? Remember what costume he pulled out from behind a stone Gargoyle (wha..?) when he absolutely reached the ends of his highly venerated tolerance? That's right baby, the ole' black costume. 10 seconds after Spiderman pulled the last black footie over his ankle... Kingpin lost the ability to exhale without expelling a major organ. Back in Black, baby.
