☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1990 trade paperback collects the acclaimed storyline from Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #107-110, in which Spider-Man and Daredevil team up to hunt down the Sin-Eater, a serial killer whose murder of NYPD Captain Jean DeWolff sends shockwaves through Spider-Man's supporting cast. Written by Peter David with art by Rich Buckler, the story is a dark, character-driven crime drama that explores themes of grief, justice, and vigilantism, marking a mature turn for the web-slinger in the mid-1980s.
In "Original Sin [Death of Jean DeWolff Part 1]," Peter David and Rich Buckler deliver a gripping chapter in Spider-Man’s ongoing struggle as the Sin-Eater strikes again—this time in broad daylight, leaving a judge dead and Spidey powerless to stop him. With the weight of Jean DeWolff’s murder still fresh, Peter digs into her past and uncovers unsettling personal connections, while Matt Murdock grapples with loss on two fronts. The cover by Rich Buckler and Bob McLeod captures the tension perfectly, setting the stage for a story that lingers long after the final page.
When Jean DeWolff is found dead in her apartment, Spider-Man is pulled into a web of crime and conspiracy that reaches deep into the heart of New York’s law enforcement. With Sgt. Stan Carter leading the investigation and Daredevil tangled in a courtroom battle over a mugging, Peter Parker finds himself caught between two worlds—his civilian life and the secret identity he’s trying to protect. As the Sin-Eater strikes again, the line between justice and vengeance begins to blur.
In the aftermath of Jean DeWolff’s death, Spider-Man races to stop the Sin-Eater, a killer whose trail leads from a courtroom to a church and into the heart of Peter Parker’s own past. With Aunt May in danger and the city reeling, Peter digs through Jean’s belongings, uncovering a surprising connection that deepens the mystery. As Daredevil mourns a fallen ally and Sin-Eater strikes again, the web of grief and vengeance tightens—leaving Peter to face a truth he never expected.
In the wake of Jean DeWolff’s death, Spider-Man and Daredevil race to stop a killer who’s wearing the Sin-Eater’s mask—only to find the man they captured is a copycat. With the real Sin-Eater still at large and Marla Jameson in danger, Peter Parker must act fast when a frantic Betty Leeds answers his call, her voice trembling as a gun presses to her head.
In the gripping conclusion to the "Death of Jean DeWolff" arc, Spider-Man races to stop the Sin-Eater—Sgt. Stan Carter—from being killed by a furious mob during his prison transfer, even as Daredevil intervenes to prevent Spidey from crossing a line. With the truth about Jean DeWolff’s killer shaking New York to its core, Peter Parker is forced to confront the fallout, from a desperate call from Aunt May about Ernie Popchik to a shocking revelation from Daredevil that changes everything.
