Is there a comic book character that's had more exposure over the years?

Web slinging since his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy 15 in 1962 the Amazing Spider - Man has done it all really. Comics, live TV show, numerous cartoons, films and even a turn on Broadway but the less said about that the better. There is an absolute plethora of Spider related material out there so it's a tough decision as to where to pick up and one that we have deliberated long and hard over but why not flip the status quo and start with a brand new day.
