Venom originated on an alien planet when Spider-Man found himself with a shredded outfit and discovered (what he thought) was an alien fabric that instantly wrapped itself around him. It was black with white spider symbols.
Not too long afterward when back on earth Spider-Man (Peter Parker) discovered that the ‘uniform’ was actually an alien symbiote.
Even more shocking was that the symbiote was using Spider-Man’s body at night when he was asleep to roam the city.
Unnerved, Peter contacted the Fantastic Four’s Reed Richard. Together they went about to force the symbiote to detach itself from Peter and place it in a container.
Later it would escape, attach itself to Eddie Brock-a reporter who hated Spider-Man. Together they would become Venom one of Spider-Man’s most dangerous foes.
Later still Venom would take on the mantle of anti-hero, spawn Carnage which bonded to a serial killer, encounter other symbiotes and see the creation of an Anti-Venom. He would travel to the stars, bond with other individuals and eventually establish an uneasy alliance with Spider-Man
Venom has starred and guest-starred in numerous series and has successfully made the transition to animated series and movies.
In Venom The First 40 Years, from Titan, his entire history is recalled broken down in the following categories: Comics, Creators, Allies, Enemies and Culture.
The book is full of comic book interior and cover art reproductions, a timeline gallery and fascinating text and examinations of each decade of Venom’s appearances in comic books.
The thin, deluxe hardbound book is beautifully designed with a striking cover and interior brilliant color art made even more so by the gloss pages.
Venom fans are sure to enjoy looking through each and every page, soaking up the images and learning all about their favorite alien symbiote.
