This card is part of Comic Images' 1989 set built entirely around Todd McFarlane's art, drawing from both his celebrated late-1980s run illustrating Amazing Spider-Man and his earlier work on The Incredible Hulk — a mix reflected across the checklist, which pulls characters from both titles. The explosive, multi-figure staging here is a good example of McFarlane's skill at packing chaotic group action into a single small-format panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eShips same business day of cleared payment.
