By 1962, with the success
of the Fantastic Four and other characters, Marvel editor and head writer
Stan Lee was casting about for a new superhero idea. He said that the idea
for Spider-Man arose from a surge in teenage demand for comic books, and the
desire to create a character with whom teens could identify.[2] In his
autobiography, Lee cites the non-superhuman pulp magazine crime fighter The
Spider as an influence[3] and both there and in a multitude of print and
video interviews said he was inspired by seeing a fly climb up a wall —
adding in his autobiography that he has told that story so often he has
become unsure of whether or not it is true |
