Black Tarantula

A fixture of Marvel's modern Spider-Verse corner of the universe, Black Tarantula made their debut in 2009's Web of Spider-Man #1, brought to life by the legendary creative duo of Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. Over a publishing history stretching nearly two decades into 2026, this character has carved out a distinctive niche sharing pages with some of Spider-Man's most beloved cast — including Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and Ghost-Spider herself. It's that deep connection to the Ghost-Spider corner of Marvel that really defines Black Tarantula's modern identity, with Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider serving as the richest hunting ground for fans eager to dig into their appearances. Twenty-three catalog entries across 17 years tells the story of a character with real staying power — well worth tracking down for any collector who loves the web-slinging world of Marvel's Modern Age.
