#symbiote30 @marvel

it's hard to believe that one of the fan-favorites, Venom, is turning 30. I can remember being a kid and seeing the black costume, thinking that it was so cool looking. The stark contrast of the black and white costume was so beautiful, and drew my young eye. The black costume was introduced with in the miniseries Secret Wars and became a major hit for the company. Over time it turned out the costume was actually a symbiote that was planning to use Spider-man's life force. With the help of Reed Richards (and a giant church bell) Spidey was able to remove the symbiote because of a weakness to sound waves. Over time the costume was eventually bonded with  Eddie Brock (a disgruntled co-worker of Peter's) and because of their mutual hatred of Spidey, they became a real thorn in Spidey's heroic side.
