Marvel removes logo deemed anti-Mormon from latest edition of ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’

Marvel has removed what has been interpreted as an anti-Mormon “Easter egg” from the latest edition of the Spider-Man comic book series — although the Utah artist who drew it denies that he had anti-Mormon intentions.

“The Amazing Spider-Man No. 4,” released Aug. 22 and drawn by artist Ryan Ottley, a former member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, includes a panel in which the superhero is covered with advertising logos. One logo, seen clearly on his upper-left chest, is for “CES Letter.”
