One of Marvel’s most celebrated artists brings his signature power to the crossover of the century. Marvel/DC: Spider-Man/Superman #1 arrives with a variant cover that is an instant collector’s priority — featuring the extraordinary artwork of Ryan Stegman, whose explosive, detail-rich, and viscerally exciting style has produced some of the most iconic Spider-Man imagery of the modern era. Stegman’s deep creative connection to Spider-Man — forged across landmark runs including Superior Spider-Man and Venom — makes him a uniquely authoritative voice for a variant on the biggest Marvel/DC crossover event in recent memory. His ability to render both the acrobatic grace of Spider-Man and the godlike power of Superman with equal conviction promises a cover that will define this crossover for collectors.
Whether you’re a Marvel/DC crossover completist, a Ryan Stegman devotee who considers his covers essential acquisitions, or a fan who wants the most artistically commanding variant in the Spider-Man/Superman #1 lineup, the Stegman variant is the one that serious collectors will be chasing.
💥 Fun Fact: Ryan Stegman co-created the Superior Spider-Man — the landmark storyline in which Doctor Octopus took over Peter Parker’s body and became Spider-Man — alongside writer Dan Slott, and his work on Venom with Donny Cates introduced Knull, the King in Black, one of the most significant new Marvel villains in decades, cementing his legacy as one of the most creatively impactful artists of his generation.
