Spider-Man has entered the Guinness World Records with the title for the “Most Contributions to a Greeting Card” with an incredible 2,707 signatures on October 14, 2012.

The famous character’s birthday occurred during New York Comic Con, with pop culture fans from all around the country gathering in the Super Hero’s hometown to be a part of this historic moment. The New York City Mayor’s Office celebrated the event by announcing that October 14^th, his official birthday, would hereby be recognized as ‘Spider-Man Day’ via an official proclamation from New York City Mayor Bloomberg

To give Spider-Man the birthday he deserved, Marvel teamed up with Hallmark Cards to create a life size card 8 feet wide and 6 feet tall and stationed it at their booth throughout all four days of New York Comic Con. Fans and enthusiasts were given the chance to wish their favorite wall-crawling protector a “Happy Birthday” and be a part of Guinness World Records history.

The previous record of 1,816 contributions had been set in August during the conclusion celebrations of the TNT show The Closer.
