Italian Spiderman



Who: Italian Spiderman, a 1960s European superhero.

What: Remember the sixties? Men were real men. You could drink, smoke, enjoy some rich foods, and women would still fall over you just because you could throw a punch. In that era, one superhero outdoes them all: Italian Spiderman. His superpowers aren't nearly as important as the fact that he insists on smoking, hitting things, and respecting women...to a degree. Only one print of Italian Spiderman survives, and it has been lovingly carved up into (so-far) ten vignettes on YouTube. This is number 4.

Karma: Bon macchiato, Ken.
