Marvel Valentine Special

Marvel’s Valentine Special launched in 1997 as a one-shot from the publisher, pairing writer Tom DeFalco with artist Kyle Hotz for a holiday-themed tale centered on Spider-Man. This single issue stands as a standalone, heart-tugging story that explores the wall-crawler’s romantic side, offering a warm, character-focused detour from the usual superhero action. While brief, it’s a charming artifact of ’90s Marvel, showcasing DeFalco’s long familiarity with the web-slinger and Hotz’s distinctive, moody art.
