Résumé: With his dynamic, near-contortionist figures and funky webbing, Todd McFarlane defined an era of Spider-Man art as Steve Ditko and John Romita did before him. Spider-Man Visionaries, Vol. 1: Todd McFarlane collects Amazing Spider-Man issues 298-305, in which Peter and Mary Jane are enjoying married life, and Spidey's still swinging in his black costume facing off against the Prowler, Silver Sable, and a handful of throwaway villains. But issue 300 is the payoff, introducing Spidey's most enduring post-Lee/Ditko foe, and one of the scariest villains ever: Venom, a byproduct of Peter's Daily Bugle rival Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote that formed Spidey's original black costume.
