Featured Characters

Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and The Punisher (Frank Castle) — as noted on the CGC label. This issue features a Punisher appearance alongside Spider-Man in a gritty, action-packed story by Zeb Wells.

Cover Details

The stunning Paolo Rivera cover is a masterclass in noir-influenced superhero art — depicting the Punisher looming large in the foreground, dual pistols blazing, with Spider-Man caught in the crossfire below against a smoky golden-yellow background. Rivera's retro-influenced linework and muted color palette give this cover a timeless, painterly quality that stands out from typical Marvel covers of the era. Signed on the cover by Rivera.

Paolo Rivera — Celebrated Cover Artist

Paolo Rivera is one of the most acclaimed cover artists of the modern Marvel era, best known for his celebrated run on Daredevil with Mark Waid. His work on Amazing Spider-Man during the Brand New Day era is highly regarded by collectors for its classic, illustration-inspired aesthetic. Rivera covers in CGC 9.8 are consistently sought after.

Series Context — Brand New Day Era

This issue is part of Marvel's Brand New Day era of Amazing Spider-Man, during which the title shipped three times per month with rotating creative teams. The corner box features an Ultimatum tie-in banner — a major Marvel crossover event of 2008–2009. The November 2008 cover date stamp is visible on the cover.

Back Cover

Features a period-authentic advertisement for the Disney/Walt Disney Studios Bolt video game — available on Xbox 360, PlayStation, Wii, Nintendo DS, and PC/DVD ROM — with a Walt Disney World family vacation sweepstakes promotion. A fun late-2008 pop culture snapshot.
