The character, formed when the symbiote bonded with disgraced journalist Eddie Brock, became one of the defining Spider-Man villains of the era and a cornerstone of McFarlane's rise to fame. This particular card comes from Comic Images' 1989 set built around McFarlane's Spider-Man artwork, and having it signed directly by the artist responsible for both the character's visual identity and this specific piece of art adds significant collector value beyond an unsigned copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eShips same business day of cleared payment.
