    Short summary describing this issue.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    Blood washes the streets of the Big Apple. Torment plunges Spider-Man into the darkness within us all as he hunts the Lizard through the streets and sewers of New York City, trying to put an end to the bloodthirsty, homicidal rampage left in his wake. But what is driving the Lizard? Is it an answer that Spider-Man is prepared to face? Or will it be so shocking that it will make even the most courageous hero question his sanity? Torment is a terrifying, action-packed epic that made -- and continues to make -- comic history! Collecting SPIDER-MAN #1-5 (and MARVEL AGE #0 or The Spectacular Spider-Man annual #10 back-up.)

    McFarlane and his Spider-Man Torment 0

    Lets face it, in the 90s Marvel was the "Cool" company.  Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's X-Men and Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man Torment are comics us readers from the 90s read or collected hoping the values would sky-rocket with the #1 issues.   Spider-Man Torment is famous because it is the story that put McFarlane on the map.  There would be no Spawn without the success of this story.  If my memory serves me correctly, McFarlane left Marvel because of creators ri...

    One of the best Spider-Man stories out there 0

    SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content. I just got this book collecting all five parts a few days ago and finished it. Its great.

His art style is also very unique with the extreme close-ups, and he really knows how to make Spidey look more bug-like. His depiction of Calypso is also very good. She is one evil...

    The Lizard is running wild in New York and behaving terribly unlike himself. He murders a total of 6 people leaving clues to Spider-Man in order to draw him out. His call for battle works as Spider-Man goes after him and they clash; but there's more to this feud than Spider-Man realizes as he's being attacked in another way. -summaryDuring the late 1980's and leading into the 90's, Todd McFarlane had become a big deal around the comic campfires by planting his flag as comic's premier artist.
