First appearing in Amazing Spider-Man #212 (1981), he became a recurring Spider-Man foe, notable for a memorable (if messy) storyline in which he merged with the villain Sandman into a mud-like composite creature. This card is part of Comic Images' 1989 set built entirely around Todd McFarlane's art, released during his celebrated late-1980s run illustrating Amazing Spider-Man, the period that built his reputation before he launched his own creator-owned titles. The card's wave-crashing artwork is a strong showcase of McFarlane's dynamic, texture-heavy inking style applied to a character built around fluid motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eShips same business day of cleared payment.
