Note about "Newsstand" vs "Direct" editions: some comics printed during this time period were published for sale in both the direct market (comic stores) and at newsstand locations such as grocery stores or convenience stores. In many cases, the only difference between the two versions is the presence of either a barcode or small logo where the barcode would otherwise be. Most collectors consider both versions to be of equal value. If the only difference is the presence of the logo or the barcode, we do not distinguish between newsstand or direct editions, so it is possible that the comic you receive could have a barcode even if our listing image shows a logo, or vice versa.
In cases where there is a significant difference between the newsstand and direct editions, such as one having a foil cover, different color scheme, or other clear variation, we will list the newsstand and direct editions as two separate listings and they will be clearly labeled as such, so you will be able to select which version you want.
Unbagged - barcode on front cover. Torment: Part 1 of 5. Story, art and cover by Todd McFarlane. Fresh off his legendary run on Amazing Spider-Man, super-star artist Todd McFarlane is given the reigns to his very own Spidey title. Right out of the gate the wall-crawler will be challenged like never before as mysterious and ominous drums in the distance are driving the savage Lizard to cut a swath of death and destruction through the streets of New York City. Can Spider-Man discover the one responsible for this madness before his arch foe causes more damage? NOTE: Webbing on cover may be grey or purple.
