Spider-Man (character)

==1962 (prototype)==
Spider-Man was first drawn by Jack Kirby (Co-creator of The Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four) in some some sketches made before the release Amazing Fantasy #15. According to Steve Ditko and other employees, the character looked pretty different to its final design, wearing a Captain America-style half-mask and shooting web from a gun. Unfortunately, these initials drawings (along with the chest emblem/logo) are belived to be lost.

Prior the release of Amazing Fantasy #15, Steve Ditko reimagined Kirby's Spider-Man design (by request of Stan Lee) to the one we know today.
The first logo worn by the was quite bulky, depicting a round-shaped eight-legged spider. Originally it sat in the center of the costume's chest and its size varied between panels.
==1966–1973==
In The Amazing Spider-Man #38, artist John Romitas Sr. improved Dikto's symbol design as well as the design of the suit itself. The symbol was made much narrower and the legs are facing upward
==1973–1978==
After Gwen Stacy's death in the main storyline, the design of the spider legs was modified and the bottom of the spider itself was made rounder.
==1978–1984==
In 1978, the spider legs were made thinner again and in addition, the higher legs are looking opposite direction of the lower legs for the first time.
==1984–1988==
In The Amazing Spider-Man #252, Spider-Man adopted the black symbiote suit, designed by artists Mike Zeck and Rick Leonardi, with this logo on his chest. The idea of the black suit was actually contributed by a fan called Randy Schueller. The logo was also reused as Venom's chest symbol and as Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter)'s chest symbol.
==1988–1989==
