Beyond Amazing Exhibit

In September of 2022, I had the pleasure of visiting the ComicCon Museum in San Diego, CA. The "Beyond Amazing" exhibit, celebrating 60 years of Spider-Man had debuted in July, and since I was in town, you know I just had to go! It was, in a word, SPECTACULAR (pun intended)! The exhibit did a wonderful job showcasing the 60 year history of the Webspinner, beginning with Amazing Fantasy #15, and continuing to the modern-day Spider-Man. 

The exhibit was broken into sections, each featuring a different era of the character, complete with influential artists, storylines, milestones, original comic art, and props from the movies. It even featured a section devoted entirely to Spider-Man merchandising throughout the decades. And, of course, there was a section devoted to the animated series, and video games as well.

It ended with a huge mixed media wall that featured all the different versions of Spider-Man throughout the Spiderverse.

All-in-all, I had a wonderful time and it was AMAZING (another intentional pun)! In fact, I had such a great time that my wife actually let me go through the exhibit a total of three times while we were on vacation (one of the many reasons I love her so much)! I took a bunch of pictures, which I have posted below. I hope you enjoy looking at them. I also have a walk-through video of the exhibit which is at the bottom of this page.
