Part 1: Last time, we explored Peter Parker's time with the symbiote and how, after he descovered it was alive, ditched the costume. This led into Eddie Brock and the Sin Eater scandal. We ended the first part with Eddie and the symbiote officially becoming "Venom".
Here, we'll explore Venom's earliest encounters with Spider-Man.
Does Venom brush his outter teeth or his inner ones?
Before the character's first full appearance, there were several teasers leading up to Amazing Spider-Man #300.
This is the first, from Web of Spider-Man vol 1 #18
Interesting bit of trivia: Eddie's hand actually looks feminine here. Before Eddie's character was conceived by David Michelinie, he planned to have it be a woman.
From his interview with Tom DeFalco in the book 'Comics Creators on Spider-Man':
>I originally wanted the character to be a woman. She was pregnant and about to give birth. Her husband is rushing to get her to a hospital. He runs into the road trying to flag down a cab, but the cabbie is looking up at Spider-Man who is fighting someone—it might even be the Living Monolith from my graphic novel. The cabbie doesn’t see the husband and accidentally hits and kills the guy. The woman sees her husband splattered in front of her and she just goes into labor. She loses the child and her mind at the same time, and is institutionalised. Though she eventually gets her mind back, she blames Spider-Man for the death of her husband and her child. The alien costume, which has also been hurt by Peter Parker, is drawn to the woman because of her intense hatred of Spider-Man. The costume then bond with her to try to kill Peter.
Our second teaser is from Web of Spider-Man #24.

Thanks user! Im really enjoying this, it's a much better way to understand a characters history than reading about it through various wikis
And here we are, Venom's first full appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #300, which I present in its entirety.
Reading the comics is always better than relying on wikis. Happy to do it, though.

As Ben Grimm talks about here: Venom gets transferred to The Vault. But he doesn't stay there for very long. By ASM #315, he breaks out.
