Look out here comes the Spider-Man! If you haven’t been completely immune to pop culture, you know that Spider-Man is a superhero from Marvel comics. This week we honor Spidey with examples of Spider-Man pipes.

(some of these pipes can be found on Etsy)

Spider-Man Background

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Spider-Man and all of the comic books, movies and TV shows that have been done with the character, here’s a quick primer:

Spider-Man is a fictional character, a comic book superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962). Lee and Ditko conceived the character as an orphan being raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben, and as a teenager, having to deal with the normal struggles of adolescence in addition to those of a costumed crimefighter. Spider-Man’s creators gave him super strength and agility, the ability to cling to most surfaces, shoot spider-webs using wrist-mounted devices of his own invention which he called “web-shooters”, and react to danger quickly with his “spider-sense”, enabling him to combat his foes. – Wikipedia

Hey, there goes the Spiderman… pipe, being passed around again.
