Black Widow

Marvel’s 1999 Black Widow series, a compact three-issue story, delivers a taut espionage thriller that pits Natasha Romanoff against her KGB-trained rival, Yelena Belova, with Matt Murdock caught in the crossfire. Written primarily by Devin Grayson and drawn by J. G. Jones, this limited series sharpens the Widow’s solo identity, exploring her complex past and the brutal competition for the mantle of the world’s deadliest spy. Chris Giarrusso also contributes to both writing and art, adding a distinct visual touch to this pivotal, character-driven chapter in the Black Widow’s Marvel legacy.
