Talk:Tarantula (DC Comics)

Spider-Man inspiration?

"Some believe that he was an inspiration for the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man."

"Some believe" is too vague for an encyclopedia entry. Please give a citation so that others can confirm this statement. -- Tenebrae 18:36, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

GA Sandman / Tarantula Connection

I think it would be good to mention the connection between Wes Dodd, the original Sandman, and The Tarantula. I would like to know why their costumes were so similar, for example. Jackbox1971 03:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

other Tarantulas

I have been on Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics and it refernces a Tarantula villain active at the same time as Jonathan Law. Also, a DC counterpart of Jeff Christiansen's "Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe" website mentions a vigilante on Earth-1 going by the Tarantula moniker, making four Tarantulas from DC. Could somebody add these somewhere in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.58.112.44 (talk) 23:51, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
