Spider-Woman Omnibus

Jessica Drew’s entire first series in a single volume!

Far more than a mirror image of Spider-Man, Jessica Drew swung onto the scene in the late 1970s with a strikingly different spider-origin — and quickly became one of Marvel’s most distinctive and dynamic heroes! Spider-Woman Omnibus collects all her classic adventures in a volume that won’t gather cobwebs on your shelf. From her mysterious beginnings as a spawn of Hydra to her decisive turn toward heroism, Jessica’s saga features the creation of her own formidable rogues’ gallery and team-ups with the X-Men, Spider-Man, the Thing and more Marvel heavyweights — all brought to life by top talents including Marv Wolfman, Carmine Infantino, Mark Gruenwald, Chris Claremont, Steve Leialoha, Michael Golden and others!

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
