Since this post first saw the light of symbiotic day, several people have expanded the research in our comment sections. This explains Spidey’s comment about “maybe” being “subconsciously influenced by that new Spider-Woman’s suit”. Julia Carpenter, the second Spider-Woman, wore the black suit first in Secret Wars #6 and #7. It is also worth noting that Spidey wasn’t even the first to wear it. Despite their historical significance, all but ASM #252 can be had in a satisfying Fine or Very Fine condition for about the price of a new book these days. Marvel Age #12 (March, 1984) came out a full two months before ASM #252 and featured sketches of Spidey’s new black costume. Earlier, in May, 1984, the black suit appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #252, The Spectacular Spider-Man #90, and Marvel Team-Up #141. Secret Wars #8 has a publication date of December, 1984. No one knew until later it was a hideous alien symbiote! Sucking on Spidey’s will to live! Trying to take him over! Eventually, separated from Spider-man, the alien symbiote would bond with Eddie Brock to become Venom.Īlthough this was the first appearance of the black suit in Spidey’s life, it was not the first time it saw print.
This is all there is to it: a little black ball pops out of a machine on some other planet. (It was reprinted in the Secret Wars TPB.)
If you ever wondered where Spider-man’s black costume first appeared, you’ve come to the right place! Here is the historic page from the mind of Jim Shooter and the drawing board of Mike Zeck in Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8.
