MARVEL ARCHIVE EDITION AMAZING SPIDER-MAN BLACK COSTUME YEAR ONE GALLERY EDITION HC DIRECT MARKET CHARLES VESS VAR

Each volume is more than just a collection of stories—it’s a portal to the cultural zeitgeist of the time. With every turn of the page, you’ll experience the world as it was, from the political and social upheavals that shaped the stories to the music, movies, and television that defined the era, and laid the groundwork for the Marvel Universe as we know it today. In this debut volume, journey back to the mid-80s, a transformative time in Marvel history. Spanning 1984-1985, this collection highlights one of the most pivotal storylines in Spider-Man’s career: the introduction of his mysterious black costume.

Returning from Secret Wars, Peter Parker dons a sleek new suit, seemingly perfect in every way. But as Spider-Man battles villains like the Puma and the Hobgoblin, he discovers his suit has a dark secret—it’s alive, a symbiotic alien with its own agenda! With guest appearances from the Fantastic Four, the Black Cat, and a shocking confession from Mary Jane Watson, this saga sets the stage for one of Marvel’s most legendary rivalries: Spider-Man vs. Venom.

Set against the backdrop of mid-80s Marvel Comics thrived, weaving superhero tales that resonated with the fears and hopes of the time.
