Let’s shift away from the idea of new arrivals and focus on what this really is: part of an ongoing hunt.
Shown here are several cornerstone issues from Spider-Man (Vol. 1) #1 published by Marvel Comics in July 1990, featuring the opening chapter of the famous Torment storyline – written and illustrated by the one and only Todd McFarlane.
This issue was a massive moment in the Modern Age. Marvel launched a brand-new flagship title specifically so McFarlane could cut loose, and the result became one of the defining images of 90s comics. That crouched Spider-Man cover is burned into collector memory.

This post represents my current “in-search-of” list to complete the set:

Spider-Man #1 – Gold Variant

Those rarer covers are getting tougher to track down, especially here in Norway. If anyone has copies available or good leads, please reach out – I’m actively hunting them.
ToddFather forever.
