About this Collection

This 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.
