The web-slinger may survive a mind-bending glimpse at life in the Mad Dog Ward, a run-in with Doctor Octopus and a Chance encounter. But the lives of Peter Parker and new bride Mary Jane will be turned upside down when his former symbiotic costume and disgraced reporter Eddie Brock combine their mutual hatred of Spider-Man to become Venom! In time for adventures with Silver Sable and Sandman, Spidey returns to the ol’ red-and-blues — but nobody ever drew them like Todd McFarlane! The cunning Fox and the calculating Chameleon await.

He and co-writer\/inker   Bob Layton established Iron Man’s battle with alcoholism, use of specialized   armor variants and vendetta against Doctor Doom, as well as other aspects of   the character that endure to this day. Michelinie’s unique blend of action,   suspense and humor distinguished not only Iron Man, but also Amazing Spider-Man. With artist Todd McFarlane, he introduced the vicious   vigilante Venom; he also wrote the first Venom limited series, Lethal Protector. Michelinie’s run   as Amazing writer was   second in length only to that of Stan Lee himself, while he also authored   tie-in titles Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man and Spider-Man. He moved from Marvel’s flagship character to DC’s with a   stint on Superman’s Action Comics, later returning to the world of Tony Stark for writing   collaborations with Bob Layton on Iron Man: Legacy   of Doom and Iron Man:   The End.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJournalist,   editor, filmmaker and more, \u003cb\u003eAnn Nocenti\u003c\/b\u003e has a long history in comics, both as a writer and editor. As   an editor at Marvel, she oversaw such titles as New   Mutants and Uncanny   X-Men. As a writer, she has worked for both Marvel   (Longshot, Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine) and DC (Batman, Kid   Eternity), but is probably best known for her   groundbreaking run with John Romita Jr. on Daredevil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom   DeFalco\u003c\/b\u003e’s earliest comic-book scripts were for Archie and   DC; he soon moved to Marvel, where he wrote Avengers, Machine Man and other titles, also launching Dazzler, a hit series of the early ’80s. In addition to writing long   and well-received runs on Amazing Spider-Man and Thor,   DeFalco edited many titles, eventually becoming editor in chief. During the   1980s, he headed the creative team that provided fictional biographies for   G.I. Joe members, originally included with Hasbro’s toys and later used as   the basis for multiple storylines on the animated series. Perhaps his   best-known work is multi-title character Spider-Girl, whom he introduced in 1998. DeFalco has authored multiple   books, including Ultimate Guides for Avengers, Fantastic Four, Hulk and Spider-Man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCynthia   Martin\u003c\/b\u003e penciled Marvel Comics   Presents, Midnight Sons   Unlimited and multiple Spider-Man titles. She is   perhaps best remembered for a noted stint on Marvel’s long-running Star Wars tie-in series. At DC, she   drew Wonder Woman and   related miniseries War of the Gods; she has also worked for AC, Eclipse, First and more. Outside   comics, she has illustrated several Max Axiom,   Super Scientist books, as well as Capstone Press   “graphic biographies” of Jane Goodall, Helen Keller, Sacagawea and other   historic figures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex   Saviuk \u003c\/b\u003eestablished himself as a major Marvel artist with   a seven-year run on Web of Spider-Man. He also worked on the animated-series tie-in Spider-Man Adventures and drew the Amazing Spider-Man comic strip from   scripts by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber. At DC, he penciled and inked Flash, Green   Lantern, Superman and other titles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter   a stint on Incredible Hulk   with writer Peter David, artist \u003cb\u003eTodd McFarlane\u003c\/b\u003e moved to Amazing Spider-Man, where he and writer David Michelinie introduced Venom.   Achieving a devoted following with his then-experimental style of   unconventional panel layouts, extreme close-ups and other innovations,   McFarlane became both writer and artist on a new series, titled simply Spider-Man. He later joined several   fellow industry prodigies to form Image Comics. McFarlane’s major   contribution was Spawn,   the demonic mercenary whose first-issue sales of 1.7 million copies remain a   benchmark for an independent. His other industry credits include DC’s Infinity Inc. and “Batman: Year Two”   in Detective Comics. He   has earned the Inkpot Award, the National Cartoonists Society’s Award for   Best Comic Book and the NFL’s Artist of the Year Award for designing the   Baltimore Ravens’ program covers. In addition to the Image subsidiary Todd   McFarlane Productions, he heads McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane   Entertainment, and is producer of a Spawn film and an award-winning animated series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46555439759521,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781302963903","price":56.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781302963903_daed22dd-4241-4c73-ba64-d5198b5921f7.jpg?v=1781788296","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/amazing-spider-man-epic-collection-venom-new-printing-paperback-by-david-michelinie","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
