Can she fight?
Well, you see
She has great agility
Can she swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead
Hey there!
There goes The Spider Queen
If the above lyrics are familiar yet not quite right to you, it's because I rewrote them a bit from the original Spider-man theme from 1967. I did that to introduce to you today's subject, the original web-swinger, The Spider Queen. If you've ever been curious as to what comics Stan Lee was reading whenever he decided to borrow some now public domain ideas for his own comics, keep on reading.
The Spider Queen made her debut in "The Eagle" #2 (September 1941), published by Fox Feature Syndicate. Elsa Lesau is her credited creator, although Pierce Rice drew it according to The Grand Comics Database. The Spider Queen made only three appearances total, but was an obvious influence on Spider-man created 21 years later by Lee and Steve Ditko.
