Collects Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #300, 315-317. The deadliest foe of Spider-Man! During their acclaimed run on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, writer David Michelinie and artist Todd McFarlane introduced an adversary for the ages: the larger-than-life Venom! Peter Parker’s spurned symbiote costume sought out Eddie Brock, whose thirst for vengeance matched its own. Together, they emerged from the shadows to terrorize Mary Jane before turning their attention to their real target: Spider-Man! With all of Peter Parker’s powers but much stronger and more vicious, Venom may be the one to shred the wall-crawler’s web permanently, unless Spidey can find some weakness — and fast! But what will happen when Venom targets the Black Cat…and Aunt May?! This stunning collection features Michelinie and McFarlane’s unforgettable Spidey vs. Venom tales — and some of the most dynamic artwork of the era!

Spider-Man's greatest fashion disaster continues! With his symbiotic black costume safely removed and imprisoned for study, Spidey re-dons the classic red-and-blues to battle fearsome foes including Hobgoblin, Silvermane and the Kingpin! And when the Black Cat whips him up a homemade version of his ebony ensemble, Spidey can embrace a modern look that only looks killer. But while Peter thinks he's done with his rather clingy former suit, the sinister symbiote isn't finished with him.
