Venom: The Madness #1

In "Part One: Toxic Kisses," Venom finds himself locked in a brutal clash with the Juggernaut, hired by a powerful corporation to silence whistleblowers exposing their toxic dumping. After a brutal encounter, Venom is drenched in a strange, sentient mix of mercury and chemicals, setting off a dangerous transformation. Written by Ann Nocenti and brought to life with gritty art by Kelley Jones—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the cover—this 1993 Marvel classic delivers a raw, high-stakes clash of brute force and corporate corruption, all rendered in stark, unsettling colors by Tom Smith.
