This study focuses on Spider-Man or Peter Parker’s characteristics and
heroism, by using Joe Caramagna’s Spider-Man (2015). There are two unit of
analysis that is used to conduct this reasearch, Joe Caramagna’s Spider-Man
(2015) and 1963’s Spider-Man. The 1963’s Spider-Man is only used in the
comparation part. By using qualitative research methods, this reasearch aims to
understand Peter Parker’s characteristics and heroic cycle or the hero’s journey,
by using Joseph Campbell’s monomyth. Media economics theories are used in
this study to understand the comparison of Joe Caramagna’s Spider-Man (2015)
and the original Spider-Man (1963) as an additional content to see the comparison
and it is not used as a main theory.
Based on the research findings in chapter 3, It is found that Peter Parker in
Joe Caramagna’s Spider-Man (2015) is depicted as a super hero who was
mentally damaged by his own classmates, a victim of bullying. Even if he was
bullied, Peter has shown many kindness and heroic actions in the story. The circle
of heroism is repeated in Spider-Man & Doctor Octopus (2015) and Spider-Man
& Sandman (2015). As an additional content, the comparisons between Joe
Caramagna’s Spider-Man and 1963’s Spider-Man is written in the last part of this
thesis for further understanding that there are some changes that Joe Caramagna
made so Peter Parker’s motivation will differ from the 1963’s Spider-Man.
