Super Spider-Man and Captain Britain Vol 1 | Albion British Comics Database Wiki | Fandom The Spider is a British comic book character who began as a supervillain before becoming a superhero. He appeared in Lion between 26 June and 26 April and was reprinted in Vulcan. He was created by writer Ted Cowan and artist Reg Bunn. Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel took over the writing of the character with his third adventure, and would write the bulk of his adventures. He would later be reprinted in Vulcan from to New material was also included in Fleetway's Super Stupendous Library series from to His adventures were also reprinted in other countries, such as Germany in KobraSpain, Italy, France, and others. Grist has created a name for the character, Alfred Chinard, and the majority of fans consider this version a true, faithful revival of The Spider. This incarnation Captain Britain: Lion and the Spider Vol. 3 the character, while different to the version appearing in Jack Staffis also named Alfred Chinard. The Spider is also mentioned in Jean-Patrick Manchette 's crime novel West Coast Blueswhere one of the villains reads his adventures. He is featured in one page of the book's graphic novel adaptation by Jacques Tardireprinted by Fantagraphics. Despite no origin ever being given for the Spider's appearance: pointed ears and teeth, and upswept eyebrows: it fits into the angular style of the artist 'Reg' Bunn who was most comfortable with designing and plotting the actions scenes from the scripts he was given by employing 'tri-angular' artwork. This emphasized and made easier the interaction of subject matter and framing within each action picture. Reg Bunn commented later on in the s of the humorous irony of the later ' Spock ' 'borrowing' his ears. His base of operations was a Scottish castle he brought over to the U. He broke out several other criminals to become members of his army of crime, and would clash with both the police and with other criminal masterminds. Among these were Mirror Man who specialised in illusionsDoctor Mysterioso a multi-talented scientist and The Android Emperor who could create a wide variety of robots. He also clashed with a number of criminal gangs, and one organisation, Crime Incorporatedhired the assassin The Exterminator to kill him. For once, the Spider seemed defeated, but struck an alliance with his would-be killer, and the pair took down Crime Incorporated. The Spider drained the Exterminator, aging him decades with a booby-trapped handshake, when the latter tried to double-cross him. The Spider found fighting criminals to be exhilarating, and decided to pit his wits against threats to mankind from now on. All except The Captain Britain: Lion and the Spider Vol. 3 died fighting the Sinister Seven. An elder, now retired, version of The Spider has appeared in Jack Staff. This version does not seem to have become a hero, and instead was active as an undefeated thief from Captain Britain: Lion and the Spider Vol. 3 s through the 80s in the UK. It's unclear if this Spider ever put together an army of crime, or only worked alone. The character featured strongly in Albionhaving been hired by the Margaret Thatcher government to hunt down all of the other British superheroes and adventurers, a job which appealed to his ego. He was promised a pardon, but was double-crossed and locked up with those he captured. He escaped with the other inmates at the end of the series, taking the giant robot ape Mytek the Mighty with him. It is unclear what powers, if any, The Spider has. He is physically fit, but probably not any more than most humans. He is supremely arrogant and self-confident. He is also cunning and intelligent, and a superb hypnotist. The harness serves as a jetpack and webshooters, as well as the sources for his web gun and gas gun. He has a large number of gadgets of his own invention at his disposal. His reluctant allies are a pair of freed criminals, the genius 'Prof' Pelham and the safecracker Roy Ordini. They were the only members of his 'army of crime' to stay on after The Spider renounced his criminal ways. He treated them very badly and they often tried to harm, even kill him in return. Their failures often brought humiliating punishments from their master. In his Captain Britain: Lion and the Spider Vol. 3 in Jack StaffCaptain Britain: Lion and the Spider Vol. 3 Spider states that his outfit serves as an exoskeleton, which increases his strength and agility. As well as appearing in his own series he has appeared in a number of other British comics as himself in figures crafted as an homage:. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
