Description
Turn of the century Occult hero Spider-man.Raised by his Aunty Mae and Uncle Ben, young Peter Parcoeur was lucky to have the best education available to a Negro child of his time. His uncle had fought in the war, and instilled in Peter a strong sense of honor and duty to his fellow man. When his uncle became involved in a dispute with a white business owner and refused to back down, he was murdered by a white lynch mob.
It was in this dark hour that Peter was approached by the Spider God-- who offered him great powers to protect the oppressed. The strength, agility, and cunning of a spider allowed him to become a masked vigilante devoted to bringing down the powerful and corrupt and saving the meek and innocent. Peter maintains a cover as a paperboy and runner for the powerful and pro-Democrat Dixie Bugle.

To me, Spider-Man was always the underprivileged superhero, so any redesign that makes him an actual minority feels natural to me. As if he was meant to be like that all along.

This origin makes way more sense than "radioactive spider bite". I love Anansi, so I think this is just fantastic!

This version reminds me of the pulp fiction spiderman. Who also got his powers through mystical means and avenges the downtrodden. However your Spider-Man doesn't fight crime during the Great Depression.

I now wish to refine the other persons' idea for Occult Lizard, this is also a chance to bring in a little Lovecraft lore into the mix. The Voodoo priestess instead of getting the attention of one the Loa, she get's the attention of something far more dangerous, the 'Father of Serpents', Yig.

I thought it was a good idea. As for Occult Eddy Brock, I'm thinking he's a power hungry white supremacist with a grudge against the Spider for helping to send him to jail for arson.Occult Venom preyed upon these feelings of greed and wrath, with a promise of power, in return for 'co-inhabitation' of Occult Brock's body.

I wish that your Turn of the century Occult hero Spider-Man could be featured on Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.

There is nothing about this that is not awesome. The art, the backstory, the style...everything is awesome.

I can imagine Anansi (wearing lemon yellow gloves) approaching a young, depressed Peter with a most interesting offer. I would love to see this as a comic, but just the concept is fantastic enough.

Haha, yeah! That would be most excellent.

Now this is probably the most badass of the series so far. Awsome stuff.

How very kind. I was a little disappointed in the lack of elaborate costume, but the concept makes up for it a bit.

THIS. Thiiiiiis. Again, I love how you redesign all of the American Superhero guys, and how you pack so much history into their bios.
Speaking of Spidy, Japan had their own (Marvel-approved) version of Spider-Man. This Spidy, however, was a hotheaded motorcycle racer with a flying car and a giant robot. Hahah, Japan. [link]

YES!
And if I recall, their Spider-Man received his powers from a race of alien Spider people. I've watched a few episodes, actually. Pretty great stuff! I seem to remember them losing their financial backing early on, though-- which led to a really terrible pattern of re-using footage.

Yeah, that's a shame. D: They should remake the Japanese Spider-Man and have Toei back it--or at least get the Kamen Rider team to work on it.
That would be AWESOME.
