Homeless in Vancouver: Spider-Man Spider-fan unmasked

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      This is Edem.

      He came into the McDonald’s around the corner from South Granville wearing a brilliant Spider-Man hoodie, which he said he bought downtown at a comic shop on North Granville Street.

      Not only that… he was wearing toe shoes, which are not the same as ninja tabi-shoes but still very cool.

      Should've asked why Spidey doesn't have a website!

      Edem really is a Spider-Man fan.

      He told me his favourite Spidey artist was John Romita, Jr., who followed in the giant footsteps of his comic-book-artist father John Romita, Sr. 

      His clean-cut style was credited with cementing The Amazing Spider-Man as Marvel’s flagship title after the originating Spider-Man artist and co-creator Steve Ditko left the strip and Marvel Comics in a huff in 1966. 

      Stanley Q. Woodvine is a homeless resident of Vancouver who has worked in the past as an illustrator, graphic designer, and writer.

      How ever did you get up on the ceiling with him?
