Spider-Woman #17

Spider-Woman finds herself in desperate straits on this November 2000 cover, pinned beneath the mechanical spider-legs of her own suit while shielding an unconscious figure — all against a blazing wall of orange flame. Looming above her is a glowing-eyed skeleton, lending the scene a genuinely unsettling supernatural menace that matches the story's evocative title, "Bones May Crack and Flesh May Boil!" Cover art by Bart Sears and Randy Elliott delivers real visceral energy, and with John Byrne writing and Bart Sears on interior art, this issue promises a creative team firing on all cylinders.
