Digger

Digger is a Marvel villain who debuted as a foe of Spider-Man, created during J. Michael Straczynski and John Romita Jr.'s celebrated run. He is a composite creature assembled from the corpses of several Las Vegas mobsters, reanimated and merged into a single powerful body.

Unearthed in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man #51 in 2003, Digger is a Modern Age Marvel creation brought to life by the celebrated team of J. Michael Straczynski and John Romita Jr. — a pairing that defined one of Spider-Man's most beloved eras. Over a run stretching more than two decades, this character has kept some genuinely dangerous company, sharing adventures with the likes of Tombstone, Lonnie Lincoln, and Lorina Dodson alongside the wall-crawler himself. With 25 catalog appearances rooted in one of Marvel's flagship titles, Digger is a distinctive piece of the Straczynski legacy on Amazing Spider-Man — well worth tracking down for any serious collector of that era.
