Marvel Noir: Spider-Man / Punisher

In 2013, Marvel’s Noir imprint gave Spider-Man and the Punisher a gritty, pulp-era makeover in this single-issue team-up from writers David Hine and Fabrice Sapolsky, with moody art by Carmine Di Giandomenico. Set in the Depression-era, black-and-white world of Marvel Noir, it pits a young, desperate Peter Parker against the cold, methodical vigilante Frank Castle as their codes clash in a violent, shadow-soaked New York. A compact, atmospheric one-shot, it’s a key snapshot of the short-lived but creatively rich Noir line, blending crime noir with superhero archetypes.
