Coolest Spidey Ever

Robbie also sent in this great late 70s Monkey Wards appearance of him and Spidey. How cool is that Spider-Man? He’s got killer eyes (kind of reminds me of Deadpool) and Web Shooters? Those details win me over. Send me your mall appearance photos!

What’s even better is the demonstration picture that came […]
