Nikita and Spidey BBFs!
Nikita sent in this cool image of her and her folks meeting Spider-Man, It was taken on the Wildwood, NJ boardwalk in 1979. She wants us to note her dad’s manly beard and mustache. I have a beard too but his totally beats mine..
I’ve never seen a Spidey quite like this one before, I wonder what it’s origins are ?
Thanks Nikita for sharing this, it’s wonderful.
Wild Wood is famous for it's gimmicky tourist trap spectacles. It was probably a booth set up near the rides or arcades where they airbrushed a background of spidey and rented a costume…or it may have been at a car show or some kind of industry convention, which wild wood is known for. They host lots of conventions and classic car shows.
