Spider-Man Visionaries: Roger Stern #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection kicks off Marvel's tribute to Roger Stern's influential run on The Amazing Spider-Man, reprinting his earliest issues from the early 1980s. Stern's tenure is celebrated for its sharp characterization and classic villain showcases, pitting Spider-Man against the likes of the Vulture, Mister Hyde, and the Cobra, while weaving in supporting cast members like J. Jonah Jameson and May Parker. The volume lays the groundwork for Stern's longer arcs, including the introduction of the Hobgoblin, though that major storyline unfolds in subsequent volumes.
In "A Method in His Madness!", Spider-Man unravels a web of deception when he links fashion icon Desiree Vaughn-Pope to the mysterious Madame Belladonna, uncovering her plot against fishy tycoon Roderick Kingsley. With Roger Stern at the helm and Marie Severin’s dynamic art bringing the tension to life, the story takes a sharp turn when Spider-Man confronts Narda, Desiree’s sister and the true Belladonna, who’s set a deadly trap for both Kingsley and the Prowler II. Al Milgrom and Joe Rubinstein’s cover captures the intrigue perfectly.
