Spectacular Spider-Man #1

A bold relaunch of one of Marvel's most beloved Spider-Man titles, this first issue kicks off "The Hunger" with a cover by Humberto Ramos and Wayne Faucher that immediately sets a menacing tone — a red-and-blue-clad Spider-Man is caught in the crushing grip of a massive, slavering Venom, the symbiote villain's jagged maw and enormous form dominating the golden-hued background. Writer Paul Jenkins teams with artist Humberto Ramos to bring fresh energy to Spidey's world in 2003, and if this striking image is any indication, the web-slinger is already in serious trouble before the story even begins.
