About this Collection

This 1994 Marvel collection pulls together some of Spider-Man's most memorable stories from the early years, featuring classic appearances by the Green Goblin, Kraven the Hunter, the Lizard, Venom, and the Kingpin. It highlights key supporting characters like Mary Jane Watson, J. Jonah Jameson, and Aunt May, offering a solid sampler of the web-slinger's iconic rogues gallery and personal drama. The volume serves as a concise introduction to Spider-Man's core mythos for new readers or a nostalgic revisit for longtime fans.

"Spider-Man!" delivers a classic slice of 1994 Marvel action, spotlighting a memorable moment in the web-slinger’s history as he crosses paths with Crusher Hogan, a former boxer turned maintenance worker with a flair for storytelling. Written by Tom DeFalco and brought to life with dynamic art by Ron Frenz, this issue follows Spider-Man as he navigates a tangled web of deception involving Hogan, fighter Bobby Chance, and the menacing Manslaughter—culminating in a moment where a white lie helps redefine a hero’s legacy. The cover, a striking piece by Steve Lightle, captures the tension and flair of the story’s pivotal scenes.
