Bruno Karnelli

Stepping out of the shadows of Marvel's Modern Age, Bruno Karnelli made his debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #547 in 2008, courtesy of the acclaimed creative team of Dan Slott and Steve McNiven during the celebrated "Brand New Day" era. That landmark chapter in Spider-Man's history brought a fresh wave of street-level figures into Peter Parker's world, and Bruno is part of that gritty, grounded fabric. He keeps notably charged company — sharing pages with Spider-Man himself, the enigmatic Mister Negative, and Harry Osborn, among others — which speaks to the dramatic weight of the corners he inhabits. A compact but intriguing piece of the "Brand New Day" puzzle, Bruno Karnelli is a rewarding find for collectors who love digging into the rich supporting texture that makes Spider-Man's universe so endlessly alive.
