Spider-Man: Masques #[nn]

Spider-Man crouches in full black-suit menace on this striking 2011 Marvel hardcover, his silhouette wrapped in an intricate tangle of webbing dotted with tiny red spiders — a cover rendered entirely by Todd McFarlane, whose unmistakable linework gives the image a deliciously unsettling, gothic energy. Collecting work credited to McFarlane, Liefeld, and Nicley, Spider-Man: Masques brings together stories where the web-slinger's darker visual identity takes center stage. It's a handsome package for anyone drawn to the more atmospheric, shadowy side of Marvel's most beloved wall-crawler.
