Madame Web

Few characters make an entrance quite like Madame Web, who stepped onto the Marvel stage in The Amazing Spider-Man #210 in 1980 — a Bronze Age debut crafted by the formidable team of Denny O'Neil, John Romita Jr., and Joe Sinnott that collectors still seek out today. She's woven herself into Spider-Man's world across an extraordinary span of nearly 45 years, turning up throughout The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, and Spider-Man: The Next Chapter in the company of heavy hitters like Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, and J. Jonah Jameson. That kind of longevity in Marvel's most beloved corner of New York speaks for itself — this is a character whose presence clearly means something to the stories being told around her. Whether you're a longtime Spidey devotee or just discovering the rich web of supporting players that make his universe so compelling, Madame Web is absolutely worth your attention.
