Marvel Spider-Man 2099 Issue #1

Spider-Man 2099 #1, released in November 1992, is a landmark issue in comic book history, introducing Miguel O'Hara as a futuristic web-slinger. Created by writer Peter David and artist Rick Leonardi, the series was part of Marvel's '2099' line, which reimagined popular characters in a cyberpunk, dystopian future controlled by megacorporations like Alchemex.

This specific issue is well-known for its distinctive red foil cover, which was a hallmark of the 1990s comic book 'speculator boom.' The brand originates from the United States, established under Marvel Comics, which was originally founded as Timely Publications in 1939.

Today, Marvel is a global entertainment powerhouse. While Marvel Comics underwent various corporate restructurings and ownership changes throughout the late 20th century, it was ultimately acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2009. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Marvel remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney, with its primary creative operations and publishing headquarters located in New York City and Burbank, California.
