The Spider

A mysterious figure who crept into the DC Universe through the critically celebrated pages of James Robinson's Starman in 1998, The Spider is one of those intriguing late-Modern Age additions who earns their place by the quality of the company they keep. Sharing the page with icons like The Shade, Ted Knight, and Richard Swift, this character inhabits one of DC's most atmospheric and literate corners of that era. With a small but curated footprint across Starman and Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E., The Spider remains a rewarding discovery for collectors who've gone deep on Robinson's beloved run — a character who rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig into every shadowy corner of Opal City.
