Spider-Girl #1

Marvel's MC2 line launched this October 1998 issue with Spider-Girl leaping straight toward the reader, arms outstretched and web-shooters primed, her red-and-black costume radiating energy against a ghosted crowd of costumed figures in the background. The cover tagline — "The Daughter of the True Spider-Man!" — sets up a thrilling generational premise, and the banner promising "the wildest (and cutest) web-swinger of all!" captures the spirited tone Tom DeFalco, Pat Olliffe, and Al Williamson brought to the series. It's an inviting, confident opener that makes a strong case for this new hero on her very own terms.
