Peter Parker is a well-meaning person who wants to do what’s right but often falls a little short and usually feels misunderstood and maligned. That relatability has made his alter ego, Spider-Man, endearing and enduring for more than 60 years. He is the accidental superhero—an everyday person with real problems and emotions that we all can relate to. From his early beginnings on the newsprint pages of a comic book to his web-slung leaps to television and blockbuster Hollywood movies, Spider-Man has never quite perfected himself… but he never stops trying. If that humanity has made you one of millions of Spider-Man fans around the world, this book is for you. Test your knowledge and see how much you really know about the humble, heroic webslinger with the heart of gold.
