Spider-Man 2099 #39

Spider-Man 2099 lunges straight at the reader in this 1996 Marvel entry, his sleek blue-and-red costume — with its distinctive spider-skull chest design and razor-sharp accents — rendered with real dynamism by cover penciler Chris Sprouse and inker Mark Farmer against a sprawling futuristic cityscape. A mechanical drone hovers ominously in the upper corner, hinting at the high-tech dangers lurking in this dystopian tomorrow. With Peter David scripting and Andrew Wildman on interior art, "Brother's Keeper" promises the kind of sharp character work and neon-noir atmosphere that made this series one of Marvel's most compelling futures.
