Spider-Man’s Black and White Costume Turns 40 This Year
Marvel Is Celebrating By Giving the Costume To Spider-Woman and Others
In the 1980s, Marvel began shaking up their biggest icons, giving them new looks for a new era. The Hulk became gray, Thor grew a beard and Spider-Man received a new costume. In 1984’s Secret Wars #8, Spider-Man discovered an all-black costume on the mysterious Battleworld. The costume was alive, and was discovered to be a symbiote, who was trying to bond with Peter. Horrified, Spider-Man rid himself of the outfit, and went on to bond with Eddie Brock, creating the equally-iconic Venom. While the black outfit only lasted a few years, it made a huge impression on fans.

Marvel’s “Black Costume Variant Covers” feature a diverse array of heroes and villains, ranging from Ms. Marvel to the Green Goblin, all sporting their own take on the outfit, including Spider-Woman. Since her debut in the late 1970s, Spider-Woman Jessica Drew has had a number of outfits of her own, including her trademark red and yellow get-up. Spider-Woman has swung back to this classic outfit in recent years, currently wearing it in the pages of her own title, and Peach Momoko’s cover looks at what happens when Jessica gets her own symbiote.

Marvel Should Bring It Into Regular Continuity
Many of the other heroes participating in the “Black Costume Variant Covers” received distorted and terrifying versions of themselves. Spider-Woman is no different, and in Peach Momoko’s hands, Jessica Drew becomes quietly menacing, yet undeniably cool. Momoko’s distinct style shines through on the cover, imparting an eerie aura to Spider-Woman. She looks downright sinister, and it is clear the symbiote is slowly taking over. This new look is a good one for Spider-Woman, and when the symbiote’s powers are combined with her own, she is one of Marvel’s coolest and most powerful characters.
