"The idea of a woman in a tight black jumpsuit. It's a lightbulb! That's a
sale! I think we all agreed on that- it looked great. The design might have
been by John Buscema or John Romita. Whoever drew the first story [in Amazing
Adventures ] probably designed the costume. I think, though, that the costume
was perfected by Gene. He made it look like there was a real woman inside that
suit. She had hips. She had a body structure that was female, as opposed to a
super-hero female figure. I could wax eloquently on the subject of The Black
Widow." ~ Gerry Conway
*[Note: In consultation with Stan Lee, artist John Romita created the Black
Widow's patent leather jumpsuit for Amazing Spider-man #86 , using artist Tarpé
Mills' Miss Fury costume design as his inspiration.]
