American Update: Kiss of the Spider-Woman! Jessica Drew’s Debut in Marvel Spotlight #32 and First Solo Issue.
*Marvel: There have been a few to wear the mantle of Spider-Woman, but Jessica Drew was the first, and her spooky, off-kilter original series with a dark edge is well-remembered today. Originating as a copyright-saving place-marker when Marvel heard rumours another publisher was working on a Spider-Woman series, the original one-off in Marvel Spotlight #32 proved an unexpected hit, and her ongoing series ensued, substantially revising her origin to make her more ‘relatable’. Having served a long stint in various Avengers line-ups, Jessica Drew has become a mainstay of Marvel, and with rumours of a Spider-Woman film having reached us… well, could there be a better time to pick up her early appearances, neither of which was UK distributed? Marvel Spotlight # 32 is VF £75: Spider-Woman #1 is VF+ £45. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
