Spider-Man 2099 #40

Spider-Man 2099 finds himself dramatically outnumbered on this February 1996 cover, as the blue-and-red suited hero crouches defiantly on crumbling rooftop rubble while a swarm of green, winged Goblin 2099 figures encircle him from every direction. Andrew Wildman's pencils and Stephen Baskerville's inks capture a real sense of overwhelming odds, with the Goblins' purple wings and jagged claws filling the urban skyline. Peter David's "Judas Goat" storyline promises the kind of high-stakes tension that made this Marvel 2099 series a standout corner of mid-nineties comics.
