Last year, Threadless ran a contest for people to design a Spider-Man based t-shirt to be judged by the folks at Marvel. While the Spider-Man they illustrated is not a Spider-Man that currently exists today, this week Threadless has released the winners of the contest that can now be purchased through their site for $23.50 a pop, and boy howdy are their some cool ones.
Of course, one thing that remains prevalent is that Spider-Man’s villains take the stage as much as he does (hence the pun in the article title), particularly Venom. It’s an interesting notion, to think that what makes a character is his foils, although Peter Parker is a character often discussed for his personality. It’s interesting to see how many artists focused on Spider-Man in combat for the contest, rather than Spider-Man by himself.
Never the less, these designs make for some fun shirts to wear. Here are a few of my favorites:
You can check them all out for sale now on Threadless.
