My 2 cents: In Amazing Fantasy I agree it was black. In ASM #1 it was a dark blue. Spidey's blue color was darker than Superman's blue or even the FF's blue costumes.

Along the same lines, I don't know that Byrne's change in the color of the FF uniforms was necessary, but I liked the results.

Could the policeman's uniform be black? Did police once wear black? I feel like they did, but maybe that's just an impression I got from watching B&W films. my mind went to this guy from Disney's Mary Poppins film: Modern policemen often wear black as well: You know, I think they actually wear black here, or a very dark blue. I haven't had that many encounters with the police!

Cei-U! I summon the sartorial splendor!

Was it Mike Zeck who designed the black costume? (I'm aware that it appeared before that issue of SW, so it may not have been.)
From Wikipedia: 'The idea for a new costume for Spider-Man that would later become the character Venom was conceived of by a Marvel Comics reader from Norridge, Illinois named Randy Schueller.[1] Marvel purchased the idea for $220.00 after the editor-in-chief at the time, Jim Shooter, sent Schueller a letter acknowledging Marvel's desire to acquire the idea from him, in 1982. Schueller's design was then modified by Mike Zeck, becoming the Symbiote costume.[2] Shooter came up with the idea of switching Spider-Man to a black-and-white costume, possibly influenced by the intended costume design for the new Spider-Woman, with artists Mike Zeck and Rick Leonardi, as well as others, designing the black-and-white costume.[3] Writer/artist John Byrne states on his website that the idea for a costume made of self-healing biological material was one he originated when he was the artist on Iron Fist to explain how that character's costume was constantly being torn and then apparently repaired by the next issue, explaining that he ended up not using the idea on that title, but that Roger Stern later asked him if he could use the idea for Spider-Man's alien costume. Stern in turn plotted the issue in which the costume first appeared but then left the title. It was writer Tom DeFalco and artist Ron Frenz who had established that the costume was a sentient alien being and also that it was vulnerable to high sonic energy during their run on The Amazing Spider-Man.[4]' <iframe width="6.439999999999998" height="7.399999999999977" style="position: absolute; width: 6.44px; height: 7.4px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 5px; top: 332px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_56608896" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="6.439999999999998" height="7.399999999999977" style="position: absolute; width: 6.44px; height: 7.4px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 270px; top: 332px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_81735665" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="6.439999999999998" height="7.399999999999977" style="position: absolute; width: 6.44px; height: 7.4px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 5px; top: 645px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_18118164" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="6.439999999999998" height="7.399999999999977" style="position: absolute; width: 6.44px; height: 7.4px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 270px; top: 645px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_44140661" scrolling="no"></iframe>

This is going to be controversial, but I'll say it nonetheless: Tim Burton's version of Batman in the 1989 movie is the best version of Batman in any medium, and his versions of the Penguin and Catwoman are too.
Oh, and Andrew Garfield is far-and-away the best screen Spider-Man.

Though I love Nolan's Batman as well.

Val Kilmer's the best live-action Bruce Wayne/Batman, IMO. He just had the misfortune of being cast in a poor movie.

Luckily for me, the pros take one look at the condition of the books I want signed and they *know* I'm not selling them. Usually they don't charge me (out of pity, I suspect).
Cei-U! I summon the tattered treasures!

I'm going to the NYCCC this Sunday and I dread handing someone a book and them asking me for money to sign it.
