The original Venom Eddie Brock got his start from a symbiotic alien
costume Spider-Man obtained from his Secret Wars adventure in the 1980's.
The symbiote started to take control of Peter Parker so he abandoned the
costume which took up with Eddie Brock. Currently the first appearance of
the suit in Amazing Spider-Man #252, and especially Amazing Spider-Man
#300 the first full appearance of Venom are highly sought after
collector's item comics. More
