ALMOST The Original Spider-Man Logo

 

Spider-Man's first appearance! It was in 1962's Amazing Fantasy #15 and of course the story was written by Stan Lee and drawn by Steve Ditko. Above is a look at the original artwork to that story's splash page.

Now let's zoom in on the logo at the top of that page. 

 

 

And let's peel back a portion of that photostatted logo.

 

 Whoa! 

That's what the Spider-Man logo was going to look like until everyone came to their (Spider-) senses! The gumption to try out an offbeat look should be saluted, but I would say that that first stab at a webby logo was a little on the hideous side.

 We dodged a bullet!
