Daily Globe (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Daily Globe is a fictional New York City newspaper in the Marvel Comics Universe.

[edit] History

Compared to its rival, The Daily Bugle, the staff and nature of the publication are far less revealed. Peter Parker has occasionally worked for the paper, as had Eddie Brock, before he was fired when Spider-Man inadvertently exposed his poor reporting. The paper's editorship is known for being largely more impartial concerning Spider-Man than the obsessively hateful publisher J. Jonah Jameson allows in the Bugle.

The Daily Globe also made it public (with the help of the FBI) that lawyer Matt Murdock is Daredevil, and was sued by him. In the Marvel Comics stories, the paper is largely used as a foil to the Bugle, and as an alternative media outlet where characters can publicize information when its rival will not cooperate.

The name is apparently a play on Daily Planet, the newspaper in Superman, published by Marvel's rival DC Comics.
