Spider-Man is coming to Union Station. Here are 5 things to look for at the new exhibit
Spider-Man swings his way to Kansas City this week. “Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing – The Exhibition,” opens up Friday at Union Station.
The traveling exhibit will celebrate the superhero’s 60th anniversary, and there’s a lot for all ages to see and enjoy inside.
The web-slinging superhero’s newest movie, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” comes to theaters June 2, a week after the exhibit opens.
WHAT CAN I SEE?
The showcase will have original art, displays, photo opportunities and costumes from the movies. Here are six items you can view while you’re at the exhibit.
Strange Tales #97, page 2
This original page from Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko depicts “Aunt May” and “Uncle Ben” months before the characters debuted in the Spider-Man comics.
Amazing Spider-Man #300, cover
This original Todd McFarlane cover is one of the most iconic and recognizable images of Spider-Man in his black costume. The image has been reprinted, homaged and used on licensed merchandise countless times.
This is the first time the original comic art is on display.
Ultimate Fallout #4
This piece by Mark Bagley is the original hand-drawn art for the first-ever appearance of Miles Morales, depicting him as the new Spider-Man. Morales is the main character in both animated Spider-Man movies, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”
Spider-Man costumes
The exhibit shows off two costumes Tom Holland wore in “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” The iconic red and black suit from “Far from Home” and the black suit from “No Way Home,” are on display for fans to look and snap photos with.
Life-size sculptures
Viewers will also see the world premiere of a life-size sculpt of Miles Morales and never-before-seen digital concept and design artwork from the animated movies.
HOW TO GET TICKETS
The exhibit opens Friday and remains at Union Station until Oct. 1. You can get tickets now.
