Marvel, the publisher of "Spider-Man," asked readers to send in ideas for the hero, and Schueller jumped at the chance. He spent two weeks crafting a story in which Spidey dons a new costume.A black costume. Like in a certain movie currently in theaters."It occurred to me that Spider-Man is this character that creeps around in the shadows looking for bad guys, so why is he wearing this bright red and blue costume?" Schueller says."It seemed like he should have more of a stealth mode."He mailed the pitch to Marvel, and a few months later, he got a letter from then-Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter telling Schueller he liked his idea and wanted to buy it for $220. Shooter also offered to let the novice write the story.As far as I know, Schueller didn't actually

Hello, chums. Again, Ted - the author of this drivel - reporting for duty at a second home for the weekend.We started our Spider Man series below with a look at some athletes who should be nailing Kirsten Dunst.
