Marvel Reveals New Spider-Man/Superman #1 Covers And Stories

Announced last month, Marvel Comics and DC Comics join forces again this year with two new Spider-Man/Superman crossover comics celebrating the 50th anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, the first-ever Marvel/DC crossover. DC’s one-shot, Superman/Spider-Man #1, arrives in March, with Marvel’s SPIDER-MAN/SUPERMAN #1 following in April. Each will be packed with ALL-NEW stories starring Marvel’s web-slinging wall-crawler and DC’s Man of Tomorrow along with additional stories featuring more history-making Marvel/DC team-ups, including two stories for Marvel’s SPIDER-MAN/SUPERMAN #1 revealed today! Writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Phil Noto will pair Ghost-Spider and Supergirl while Jeph Loeb and Jim Cheung will deliver an additional Spider-Man/Superman team-up!

Fans can also see new variant covers for the issue including:

- A cover by Gary Frank, spotlighting his story with Geoff Johns that pits Spider-Man and Superman—and their families—against Mysterio
- A cover by Humberto Ramos, teasing the Gwen Stacy and Lana Lang story he’s working on with Joe Kelly
- A cover by Frank Miller, featuring the comic book legend’s take on the armored Superman, Spider-Man, and Dark Knight
- A cover by E.M. Gist stunningly depicting the titular stars soaring the skies together

- And previously revealed covers like a Logo Mash-Up Variant Cover presenting Spider-Man and Superman’s iconic logos on the front and Venom and Bizarro’s logos on the back; a Peach Momoko representing Phillips and Noto’s story; and more!

The lead story starring Spider-Man and Superman will be written by New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer, marking his first full-length Marvel Comics story, and drawn by Pepe Larraz, one of the industry’s most acclaimed talents. The various bonus stories will be brought to the page by a monumental lineup of industry stars, including a few surprises readers will be talking about for the next fifty years!

- And more!

"Spider-Gwen and Supergirl both represent different kinds of strengths and powers, but they're united by their compassion and resilience,” Phillips shared. “I really loved the chance to let these heroes save the day together and have fun doing it. And Phil Noto on art just takes it to another level - Kara, Gwen, and I are lucky to have him!"

“How often do you get to land on the moon? Travel back in time? Be a part of history? That's what it was like when Marvel asked me to be part of Spider-Man/Superman!” Loeb said. “It's a short story that I'd like to think connects emotionally with Spider-Man: Blue and Superman for All Seasons. Then, the most incredible part is that the incomparable Jim Cheung is illustrating the story giving it the perfect feel! See you there!”
