The Spider is a British comic book character who began as a supervillain before becoming a superhero. He appeared in ''Lion'' between 26 June 1965 and 26 April 1969 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. ==Publication history== The Spider first appeared in The ''Lion'' from 26 June 1965 to 26 April 1969, as well as in Lion Annuals from 1967 to 1971. He would later be reprinted in ''Vulcan'' from 1975 to 1976. New material was also included in Fleetway's ''Super Stupendous Library'' series from 1967 to 1968. His adventures were also reprinted in other countries, such as Germany (in ''Kobra''), Spain, Italy, France, and others. ''2000AD'' published an "Action Special" featuring The Spider (as well as other characters from the same era) in 1992, but this version (written by Mark Millar at the start of his career) is ill-thought of by most fans, turning The Spider into a cannibal, and tends to be ignored. An older, retired, more benevolent version of The Spider has appeared in UK writer/artist Paul Grist's Image comic book ''Jack Staff''. 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. The elderly Spider continues to appear in Jack Staff, although at IPC Media's request, he is identified merely as Alfred Chinard (as "The Spider" name is IPC Media copyright). The Spider, along with other IPC characters, appeared in the ''Albion'' mini-series from the Wildstorm imprint of DC Comics. This incarnation of the character, while different to the version appearing in ''Jack Staff'', is also named Alfred Chinard. The Spider also appears in one page of Jacques Tardi's crime graphic novel 'West Coast Blues' recently reprinted by Fantagraphics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Spider (British comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
