Biracial Identity For America's Web-Slinging Hero; NPR's Tell Me More, 8/11/11

Amy Ta, NPR's Tell Me More; Biracial Identity For America's Web-Slinging Hero:

"To all the people who view this as a politically correct move or what have you, I assure you it's not," said Alonso. "Peter Parker for decades garnered fans of all races, sizes, creeds and colors. And we have no doubt that Miles Morales will do exactly the same thing. It's his heart that matters, not the color of his skin."

Alonso said what really excites him are letters from those sharing plans to go into comic stores for the first time to introduce their children to Spider-Man.

That applies to his family, too.

"I'm thrilled to be able to show Tito, my son, a Spider-Man whose last name is Morales. Call me selfish, but I think that's wonderful," said Alonso."
