My Love For Spider-Man Comics Throughout My Life

To this day, one of my favourite comic book superheroes of all time is Spider-Man.

As a kid, I remember my cousin's basement was like a paradise for comic book nerds.

He had every comic you could imagine, from Avengers to X-Men. Since he was primarily a Marvel guy, I mainly became a Marvel guy.

The Spider-Man ones were some of my favourites, like Spider-Man #361 (First Appearance of Carnage).

As I grew older, I started reading more Wolverine comics. Eventually, I became obsessed with everything Wolverine. Then I moved on to Batman.
