Bookie

Debuting on Free Comic Book Day 2007 in a issue crafted by the acclaimed team of Dan Slott and Phil Jimenez, Bookie is a Modern Age Marvel creation who carved out a niche in the bustling, street-level corners of Spider-Man's New York. Over roughly fifteen years, this character turned up across The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Spider-Man: Crime and Punisher, sharing pages with the likes of Peter Parker, J. Jonah Jameson, and Vin Gonzales — the colorful supporting cast that makes Spidey's world feel so alive. With 24 catalog appearances and a key issue to their name, Bookie is exactly the kind of deep-cut Modern Age find that rewards the devoted collector who loves the texture and detail behind Marvel's flagship hero.
