Rob's Room: The Origin of Spidery-Man by Kerry Callen

The Origin of Spidery-Man by Kerry Callen (August 1, 2018)  [a parody of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s Spider-Man for MAD magazine issue 3] (via The Art of the Cover) 

Kerry Callen on unscripted twist ending:
Originally, I had a different last page written. Uncle “Ken” was at the wrestling ring where Spidery-Man fought. Uncle Ken lost all his money, betting on the wrong guy, and had a heart attack and died. “P. P. Poker” takes the money he won and skipped town to avoid all responsibility. It was fine, but this new one occurred to me and I like it much better.
