Damon Ryder

Damon Ryder stepped into the Marvel Universe in 2009, born from the creative partnership of Fred Van Lente and Barry Kitson in the collector-significant Spider-Man: Red-Headed Stranger — a Modern Age debut that dropped him straight into the thick of Spider-Man's world. With only eight catalogued appearances spread across The Amazing Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man Annual, and Spider-Man: Died in Your Arms Tonight, he's a compact but pointed presence, sharing pages with Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Ben Reilly, and Aunt May Parker. That tight, purposeful footprint — and at least one key issue to his name — makes Ryder exactly the kind of figure that rewards the deep-diving collector who wants to know every corner of Spidey's modern mythology.
