   No, you need to do it in honor of the original Peter Parker. It

			FYI, there was an actual Spider-man manga done in the 
early 1970s (Available in the US as Spider-man:The Manga from Marvel Comics) 
The story and art was done by Ryoichi Ikegami (the artists behind Crying 
Freeman, Mai: The Psychic Girl, and Sanctuary)
