Spider-Girl #43

Spider-Girl charges forward on this energetic 2002 cover alongside a colorful ensemble the tagline proudly calls "...And Her Amazing Friends!" — a winged female hero, a blue-and-gold armored figure, a green-skinned villain in a purple hood, and a green-costumed young woman rounding out the dynamic group. Patrick Olliffe's pencils and Al Williamson's inks give the lineup a kinetic, forward-rushing energy that makes the team feel both formidable and fun. With Tom DeFalco and Pat Olliffe also handling the interior story "A Separate Peace," this issue delivers the kind of action-packed ensemble adventure that made this series a fan favorite through the early 2000s.
