In honor of my giddy excitement for the Marvel Legends Spider-Girl reveal earlier this week, I decided to review three variations of my favorite Spider-Lady sculpt to date. Jessica Drew was a hasty creation by Marvel Comics in the late 1970s in order to secure the copyrights for a female spider-powered superhero. (I read once that word of Filmation's Web Woman cartoon reached the Marvel camp and they quickly created and published the first Jessica Drew story before her first episode aired). I was never a huge fan of Spider-Woman as a kid. I saw the cartoon a few times, but preferred Firestar from the Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends series. It wasn't until 2006 in the pages of New Avengers where Frank Cho drew two amazing Jessica Drew-centric issues (#14 and #15). Coincidentally, Diamond Select Toys released their fantastic Spider-Woman action figure that same year in their Marvel Select line. There have been multiple variations released since, and I've purchased almost all of them. Let's check them out below!
