The Definitive History of Marvel’s Venom

The Definitive History of Marvel’s Venom


Few comic characters created outside of the classic Silver Age have had a bigger impact on the Marvel Universe than Venom, who was first conceived as a new alien costume for Spider-Man and then spun off as his own character (and Spider-Man super-villain) bonded to Eddie Brock. From humble beginnings as an idea submitted by a Marvel reader (it’s true), Venom grew into a major Spider-Man antagonist, then an anti-hero in his own right, and eventually the star of his own spinoff movie franchise, starring Tom Hardy as this “lethal protector.”

Venom’s story off the page is almost as interesting as it is within the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man. In our latest Marvel video, we bring you a full hour on the complete history of Venom. That includes interviews with Marvel artists like Ryan Stegman, Mark Bagley, and Venom co-creator Todd MacFarlane. They’ll guide you through the character’s early days, and give insights into how this character grew into such a phenomenon. Watch our video below.
