[Gentle Giant] Premier Guild Gift - Black Suit Spider-Man

Spider-Man! One of the most popular and commercially successful comic book super...heroes ever is synonymous with all things Marvel. Spider-Man has appeared in several of his own solo publications as well as many Marvel Team-Ups and stints with both The Avengers and Fantastic Four/Future Foundation. With several animated and live-action TV shows, a fourth movie on the horizon and a Broadway musical; our friendly neighborhood Spider-man is a busy guy!

When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, the Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker, a teenage high school student that possessed identifiable traits of "self-obsession with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness.” Unlike previous teen heroes at the time, Spidey had to learn for himself that "with great power there comes great responsibility."

Early 1984 saw the debut of what was a controversial change for the Wall-Crawler, the now infamous “Black Costume” spinning out of the Secret Wars saga and building the groundwork for one of Marvel’s most lethal villains; Venom.

This original sculpt is not a paint variant, but an exclusive sculpture offered only to our Premier Guild members. Standing roughly 6.5” with an accurately detailed costume and scribed white spider emblem, this Spider-Man piece will display proudly in your Marvel collection. Cast in durable poly-stone and hand painted to exacting standards this strictly limited edition comes hand numbered with a matching “trading card” sized certificate of authenticity.
