The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #403—swinging in on July 1, 1995—is a courtroom clash that’s crazier than a symbiote on a sugar high! Penned by the masterful J.M. DeMatteis and penciled by the legendary Mark Bagley, this issue puts Spider-Man in the hot seat—literally. Spidey’s on trial for the murder of Louise Kennedy, and guess who’s playing prosecutor? Carnage, the red-headed psycho with a grin wider than his kill count. It’s a kangaroo court from hell, and Peter’s got to dodge both the gavel and the gore to make it out alive. Will our wall-crawler beat the rap, or is this one verdict he can’t swing away from?
Highlights:
-
Carnage in Court: Cletus Kasady swaps his axe for a law degree (sort of), turning the trial into a circus of chaos—objection overruled, with extreme prejudice!
-
Spidey Accused: Peter’s fighting for his life and his rep, pinned for a murder he didn’t commit—talk about Parker luck hitting a new low.
-
DeMatteis & Bagley Brilliance: This duo delivers a wild mix of tension and absurdity, with Bagley’s art making every panel pop like a web-slinging blockbuster.
Current Value:
This bonkers courtroom caper’s swinging at $8-$12 in near-mint condition (VF/NM 9.4)—a steal for a ‘90s Spidey spectacle! Graded copies, like a CGC 9.8, can snag $40-$60, especially with collectors geeking out over Carnage’s starring role.
Expected Value Trends & Upcoming Events:
Don’t let this one slip through your webby grasp! ASM #403 rides the Clone Saga wave and Carnage’s unstoppable hype—fueled by Venom: Let There Be Carnage and symbiote fever in the MCU. This offbeat trial tale could climb to $15-$25 ungraded in a few years as ‘90s nostalgia and villain love keep surging. If Carnage gets another big-screen rampage or a courtroom nod in a future project, slabs might hit $80-$100+. Bagley’s art and DeMatteis’ quirks make it a sleeper hit—grab it before the gavel drops!
Why You Need It:
This comic’s a wild detour from Spidey’s usual punch-ups—think Law & Order meets Maximum Carnage, with a side of web-slinging panic. Carnage as prosecutor is the twist you never knew you needed, and Peter’s fight to clear his name is tenser than a web-line over a volcano. Snag it before Carnage’s courtroom antics jack up the price, and brag to your buds you’ve got the issue where Spidey’s one bad ruling from a symbiote sentencing. Buy it fast, or you’ll be pleading “guilty” to regret quicker than you can say “thwip-thwip-bang!”
