New York, NY— July 22, 2025 — After almost thirty years, SPIDER-BOY #1, one of the all-time great DC/Marvel crossover comic books, will be boldly re-presented in its original form – ads and all—in SPIDER-BOY #1 FACSIMILE EDITION!
On sale in October, SPIDER-BOY #1 FACSIMILE EDITION reprints SPIDER-BOY #1 by writer Karl Kesel and artist Mike Wieringo. The iconic one-shot was originally published in 1996 by Amalgam Comics, a joint imprint by Marvel Comics and DC that introduced dozens of new heroes, each created by merging popular characters from both comic book universes. The project was an industry sensation, and SPIDER-BOY, a mix of Spider-Man and Super-Boy, was one of the standout stars! Now, fans can pick up the character’s rare first appearance and revisit the unique world of Amalgam Comics just in time for Marvel and DC’s newest groundbreaking collaboration—DEADPOOL/BATMAN and BATMAN/DEADPOOL!
As iconic heroes of two worlds collide in the Amalgam Universe, get ready to meet Pete Ross – your friendly neighborhood clone known as Spider-Boy! Join the amazing Arach-Kid mid-fight as he protects Project Cadmus from the deranged D.N.Alien, Bizarnage! But even if he can solve that problem, big trouble lies ahead courtesy of a somehow giant-sized King Lizard! Can Spider-Boy bring his reptilian rogue down to size in time to meet the blind date lined up for him by his ally, Otto Octavius? Face it, tiger – you’re dying to find out!
