Marvel and DC’s forgotten hero returns: ‘Spider-Boy’ #1 reprinted after nearly 30 years

Karl Kesel and Mike Wieringo’s ‘SPIDER-BOY’ #1, originally published in 1996 as part of Marvel and DC’s Amalgam line, will be reprinted as a Facsimile Edition this October!

It’s been nearly three decades since Marvel and DC teamed up to create one of the most legendary mashups in comic book history, and now, Spider-Boy is swinging back into action!

This October, fans can relive the magic of SPIDER-BOY #1 with the release of the Spider-Boy #1 FACSIMILE EDITION, a complete reprint of the original 1996 one-shot, restored in all its glory, including ads, vintage vibes, and all.

Written by Karl Kesel with art by the late, great Mike Wieringo, this Amalgam Comics classic merged the worlds of Spider-Man and Superboy into one unforgettable hero: Pete Ross, aka Spider-Boy. The issue became a cult favorite, and now it returns just in time to ride the hype of Marvel and DC’s newest crossover sensation, Deadpool/Batman and Batman/Deadpool.

In this wild one-shot, Spider-Boy takes on twisted threats like the monstrous Bizarnage and the towering King Lizard, all while trying to survive a blind date arranged by none other than Otto Octavius.

Whether you missed it the first time or want to relive a bizarre and brilliant moment in comic history, don’t sleep on this one.

Preorder your copy of Spider-Boy #1 FACSIMILE EDITION today, before the Amalgam Universe vanishes again! Seriously, who knows how long the Deadpool/Batman trend can continue?!
