Day 134 of My Italian Learning Journal*
_____________________
For the last three weeks, using Book Creator, I have been creating ebooks in the style of comics for my six-year-old grandson using the character of Spider-Man. Tonight I decided to surf the web to learn about the creator of the character Spider-Man. It is as if the search is as mysterious as Spider-Man himself. It appears that there is a conspiracy theory about which of three persons actually created the original Spider-Man: a costume maker in the 1950's, or one of two comic book artist in the 1960's. On youtube.com I found video after video with stories about the origins of Spider-Man. Names in the mystery are comic artists Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and costume company Ben Cooper. Inc. Yet another is in the mix: Jack Kirby. The comic book super-hero Spider-Man has had an amazing history, from comic book hero to TV to mega-movies. (Now for a practice script in Italian . . . grammar corrections are welcome.
