The web - slinger’sred and gamy supporting players is among the greatest comic record book costume ever as it ’s comparative simmpleness is iconic and remains hit to this solar day . However , Spider - Man ’s costume might have been a completely different color if it was up to the graphic symbol ’s co - creator Steve Ditko .

Rich Johnston ofBleedingCool.compointed out that in an audience withForbidden Planet , BBC presenter ( and massive Spider - Man buff ) Jonathan Ross peach about his meter spent with Ditko before his passing in 2018 . Ross , who ’s 2007 documentaryIn Search of Steve Ditkofocused on the fabled Spider - Man artist , said that when he was hash out the fighter ’s first coming into court , he mentioned that the colors of the character were originally intended to be strikingly dissimilar .
I said look , I might go and examine and visit Steve just for the hell of it . I ’ve amaze the crew with me , and he said okay , I ’ll come along . So we went together and we went upstairs . I had that pot of book from me which I ’ve been using in the interview a short fleck to talk about , you know , some stuff and nonsense that did n’t get used . So I said that Steve , I said ' have you catch any old work , do you want you need this ? I offered him theAmazing Fantasy#15 . He went oh , and he looked at it , he tell apart me ' you know they fetch the colours wrong . ' I said what do you mean ? He said ' well , when I drew that , when I come up with that costume , I wrote that he should be orange and purple . ' And I reckon … I might have opine this next minute . He might have said there ’s another bozo who ’s low and red which we assume was Superman .
But maybe he did n’t say that maybe we talked about that afterwards you know , but he definitely said it was orange and purple .
Ross said that Ditko told him he was sure that the over-embellished and orange color scheme would have been pop , but admitted he was n’t certain why it was actually rejected . Ditko is aver to have cite possible printing issues with the different colors and the cheap newspaper as being potential reasons the original color were axed .
It ’s unclear howSpider - Man’spopularity would have changed if his costume was orangish and purple or else of red and blue . But , what is clear , is that Ditko and Lee ’s last product inAmazing Fantasy # 15was the complete look for Spider - Man . It ’s crazy to think that the character ’s popularity might not exist today if Ditko ’s alleged color scheme was in the first place used . Thankfully , things run out andSpider - Manis still as relevant nearly 60 years after he ab initio debut in the comic strip .
