he Amazing Spider-Man #345 (March 1991) is oozing with symbiote-fueled chaos! Titled “Gun From the Heart!,” this issue marks Venom’s big return—Eddie Brock’s breaking out of the slammer with his gooey pal in tow. Written by David Michelinie and penciled by Mark Bagley (his Spidey debut!), it’s the start of the “Venom: Out of the Vault” arc, and it’s stickier than a melted popsicle on a summer sidewalk.
Highlights That’ll Stick Like Symbiote Slime:
-
Key Character Appearances: Venom (Eddie Brock) crashes back into Spidey’s life, fresh from a prison breakout and madder than a hornet in a blender. Spider-Man’s swinging in, quipping and panicking as usual. Mary Jane Watson’s there, probably wishing Peter had a 9-to-5. Plus, a sneaky intro to Jonathan Caesar—MJ’s creepy stalker fanboy—and a prison cameo from Cletus Kasady (yep, pre-Carnage Cletus!), setting the stage for symbiote insanity.
-
Plot That’s a Gooey Good Time: Venom busts out of the Vault, gunning for Spidey with a grudge bigger than his toothy grin. It’s part 1 of a wild arc, with prison breaks, symbiote reunions, and Peter wondering why he can’t catch a break. Cletus watching from the sidelines? That’s the cherry on this chaotic cake!
-
Art That Bites: Mark Bagley’s first Spidey gig brings fresh energy—Venom’s menacing, Spidey’s dynamic, and those prison scenes are gritty enough to feel the bars.
Current Value: A Steal J. Jonah Jameson Couldn’t Smear
As of April 2025, ASM #345 is slithering around $15-$30 for VG/FN copies—think “well-read but not symbiote-shredded.” VF/NM grades fetch $40-$70, and a CGC 9.8 slabbed stunner can snag $120-$180, thanks to that Cletus cameo and Venom’s star power. (Values based on recent market buzz—no web of lies here!)
Expected Value: A Trend That’ll Climb Like Venom Up a Wall
Venom’s a juggernaut—movies, comics, you name it—and this issue’s got extra juice with Cletus Kasady’s pre-Carnage debut. Mark Bagley’s Spidey legacy adds cred, and the “Venom: Out of the Vault” arc is a fan-favorite. If the next Venom flick or that 2026 Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel teases Cletus or Eddie (please, Marvel!), expect a spike—NM copies could hit $80-$120 in a year, with slabs pushing $200-$250 if Carnage hype bleeds in. Long-term? A mint copy might slink to $300-$350 by 2030 if symbiotes keep dominating.
Why This Comic’s Your Next Big Score, True Believer!
ASM #345 is Venom’s triumphant jailbreak, with Spidey dodging tendrils and Cletus lurking like a red-haired time bomb. Whether you’re a symbiote stan, a Bagley buff, or just here for Peter’s endless woes, this issue’s a gooey gem. Snap it up before the price swings out of reach—or before Venom and Cletus team up to snatch it!
