Your challenge
Peter Parker faces the normal foes of high school: bullies, zits, curfew. But when he gets a nasty bite from a radioactive spider, transforming him from shy, nerdy teen to web-slinging super hero Spider-Man, he must battle something much more sinister—super villains! In the past 50 years Spidey has taken on the twisting tentacles of Doctor Octopus, elderly but evil Vulture, dastardly big game hunter Kraven, and many more nefarious nemeses.
Your challenge is to create a t-shirt inspired by the battle between Spider-Man and his archenemies.
Do you think Venom’s alien abilities pose the greatest threat to the webhead’s existence? Or are you convinced that Spidey could lay waste to his whole army of enemies at once? The choice is yours. Just remember one thing in creating your design: with great power comes great responsibility.
There are two grand prizes: One for a design created one one artist and one for a collaboration design!
Keep in mind:
- Use your original artwork.
- Characters outside of the Marvel universe are not allowed, but Spidey can do battle with any (or all) of the following villains: Dr. Octopus, Electro, Sandman, Venom, Lizard, Kraven, Green Goblin, Vulture, Rhino, and Shocker.
- Spider-Man cannot be used on his own, but his archenemies may go solo.
- Remember Spider-Man is a super HERO, so he always wins—and he does it without blood and guts.
- You may not use actor likenesses or any logos in your design.
- No political or adult content (sex, smoking, drinking, etc.) is allowed.
- The characters cannot be represented as children or animals.
- Designs should be inspired by the comic, not the movies. Designs with actor likenesses will not be approved.
