Taken in October of 2019 this photo illustrates the relationship between Spider-Man and Deadpool in the Marvel Universe. The photo took time to be framed well, carefully blocking elements where the effect would be most intriguing. 
Spider-Man playing billiards is one of my favourite shots. Taken in my entertainment room, I love the aspect and the view from behind his shoulder. October, 2019 
One of the more creative pictures in the series, the stack of seemingly random bluray disks staged with a purpose. Taken October 2019. 
Featuring an original painting based on the Venom character from the Marvel Universe, this picture plays on the relationship between two opposing hero’s. Like in the comic-books, Venom is large, towering, and domineering, standing over his smaller adversary, Spider-Man. Taken October, 2019 
One of the most powerful photos from this series, this shot was the first to be taken. Framed as though Spider-Man is taking a selfie, saluting his would be “father”, Stan Lee, who passed away November, 2018. Picture taken October, 2019
If you’ve been following me for any period of time you know that I have a deep, personal connection to all things comic book- specifically Marvel and Spider-Man. As I tour my entertainment room, showing guests my carefully curated collection of comic books, memorabilia, and collectibles, my love for Nerd Culture becomes apparent. Although I love all comic characters my bias towards Spider-Man is obvious. Growing up Peter Parker was the embodiment of everything I wanted to be. He was brave, kind, and selfless to a fault. However, for all his positive superhero attributes he was also a deeply flawed individual who grappled with feelings of anger, depression, and anxiety.
Whether or not Stan Lee meant to create Spider-Man in this likeness is up for debate. Did he knowingly create a character who displayed symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Or perhaps was this a side effect of Stan’s brilliant mind? We may never know, but it’s an interesting thought to ponder. Certainly it would make sense, wouldn’t it?
So, accepting that this is a work of fiction, and suspending disbelief for a moment, let us consider Peter Parker and Spider-Man as if he were a real person. In nearly every issue audience witness him fight a majority of the most gruesome and terrifying villains in the Marvel Universe. He has lived through moments of great loss and sadness. He has seen friends, family, and cherished loved ones pass away time and again. Some of these deaths have been natural, but many of them have been at the hands of tragedy. This is not unlike what the hero’s of ol’ like Hercules and Perseus would have gone through. It would, therefore, be unrealistic, accepting that realism in a comic book world is nearly impossible, to believe that Peter Parker would not have exhibited symptoms of PTSD.
Regardless of what he was enduring, though, Peter always kept the most positive outlook of his situations as possible. Through his characters, Stan Lee taught fans of all ages, from all around the world, what it meant to hope. He used comic books to create a world where ordinary people could become extraordinary and do amazing things.
