Miyamoto Musashi
Law Enforcer
Actually I'm quite early, two months from (now is January, he first appeared in March) now is the twentieth memory of just his hand appearance, April 2008 is the twentieth anniversary of Venoms actual appearance.
May 2008 is the actual 20th anniversary of the character, 20 whole years after his appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #300 in the first issue published for him as the main villain after scaring Mary Jane in her and Peters Chelsea apartment, and the first original view of "Edward Brock" former reporter of the partially suspended Daily Globe (has closed for a period of time in Amazing Spider-Man #210 after the publisher was about to get burned) who was fired because of the sin eater story was foiled by Spider-Man and caused Edwin to lose his job and get the idea of committing suicide (that was foiled by the symbiote Peter thought has killed in Web of Spider-Man #1 by the bells of "Our lady's saint church" while getting rid of the vulturions) and the symbiote bonded with our esteemed former journalist preventing him from suicide and help him get his revenge on their mutual enemy; Spider-Man.
After one encounter that ended by defeating the symbiote using its structure against it Spider-Man handed his foe to Ben Grimm in the Baxter Building Venom was/were delivered to the vault (Special prison for super powered villains) which later escaped from it by a clever plot.
Venom and Spider-Man had multiple encounters later (more as enemies and less as allies) they started have times acting as allies after the birth of the Carnage symbiote (spawned by Venom), after their first time beating Carnage Spider-Man and Venom had a truce that didn't last long.
