The Details
AARRRRGGGGHHH!! — the back of this shirt is one full-torso comic-book scream, Venom seen from behind, tongue dripping, and the front answers it with the lunge: VENOM in symbiote-tendril lettering over the character bursting forward, jaws wide, claws gripping the edges of the print like panel borders. This is the grammar of the early-90s Marvel mega prints, the all-over series that has become one of the most chased lanes in vintage comic tees — a 1993 Spider-Man vs. Venom vs. Carnage mega print is listed at $9,784, and a 90s Venom mega print has been listed at $495 on eBay. The character earned the treatment: introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #300 in 1988, Todd McFarlane and David Michelinie's inversion of Spider-Man — the black suit that came back wearing a grudge — became Marvel's most bankable monster inside five years. The design circulates in later printings too, which is exactly why the collecting attaches to the art, not the cotton.
