AceShowbiz - A page from Todd McFarlane’s run on Spider-Man is now up for sale on eBay, ComicBook.com reports. The showcased comic page originates from Spider-Man issue number 315, published in 1989, and is listed by seller mannca5 for 60,000 Canadian dollars, roughly 43,111 US dollars.

This particular page displays both Peter Parker and Spider-Man, including a memorable panel where Spider-Man swings away from a crime scene. ComicBook.com explains that the storyline involves Spider-Man stepping in to protect Nathan Lubensky, Aunt May’s disabled boarder and love interest, from menacing local loan sharks. Peter Parker employs blackmail tactics to deter the criminals from further threatening Lubensky. The issue is also significant for featuring one of the early appearances of Eddie Brock, who later becomes Spider-Man’s infamous foe Venom. A subplot in the comic details Venom’s prison escape and his quest for vengeance. Bleedingcool also highlighted the rarity of McFarlane’s artwork appearing on eBay, noting that while this page isn’t among his highest-valued pieces, his work routinely commands five- to six-figure sums at auctions.

Todd McFarlane is renowned for revitalizing iconic comic characters and is the original creator of Spawn. He has contributed to major franchises including Spider-Man, the Hulk, Batman, and Daredevil. Following his departure from Marvel in 1992, McFarlane co-founded Image Comics and later launched McFarlane Toys, which holds rights to produce certain DC action figures and has collaborated with Marvel on comic cover statues.

This eBay listing offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of McFarlane’s celebrated Spider-Man tenure, which helped define the character’s 1990s era. Given McFarlane’s lasting influence and the historical significance of the issue featuring Venom’s early storyline, the sale underscores continued interest in vintage comic art within the collector community.
