☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete 12-issue run of Spider-Man's Tangled Web, a Marvel series that explores the wider cast of characters orbiting Spider-Man's world. Rather than focusing solely on the web-slinger, these stories spotlight villains, allies, and bystanders like the Rhino, Sandman, the Thing, and J. Jonah Jameson, offering fresh perspectives on classic Spider-Man lore through a gritty, street-level lens. Written by various creators, the anthology-style volume delves into the motivations and backstories of familiar faces, making it a must-read for fans of the Spider-Man mythos beyond the hero himself.
In "Alphabet City," a snowy Christmas Eve brings Peter Parker to the Daily Bugle’s holiday party, where he helps a group of stranded children find their way—only to find himself drawn into a larger mystery when Crystal turns to the Fantastic Four for help locating her missing sister, Medusa. As tensions rise and the city’s festive spirit frays, all paths converge at Macy’s, where the Puppet Master’s sinister plan begins to unfold. Written by Darwyn Cooke and illustrated by Jay Bone, with colors by Matt Hollingsworth and letters by Paul Tutrone, this issue’s cover by Frank Cho captures the holiday’s eerie undercurrent.
In "Behind the Mustache," Jonah suffers a heart attack triggered by his rage toward Spider-Man, leading a psychiatrist to probe the origins of his fury—though Jonah dismisses the therapist's efforts with disdain.
On a snowy Christmas Eve, Peter Parker brings a group of stranded kids to the Daily Bugle’s holiday party, while at the Baxter Building, Crystal pleads with the Fantastic Four to help find her missing sister, Medusa. When the trail leads to Macy’s, chaos erupts as the Puppet Master, using a hypnotized Medusa, unleashes a festive nightmare on the holiday shoppers.
