The Amazing Spider-Man #349 (July 1, 1991) is sparkling with mischief! Titled “Man of Steal!” (clever, right?), this issue sees Spider-Man chasing the sly Black Fox, who’s nabbed the Trask diamond like it’s a shiny toy on a high shelf. Written by David Michelinie and penciled by Erik Larsen, it’s a heist caper with a surprise villain twist that’ll knock you off your web. Published in the heat of ‘91, this one’s a diamond in the rough!
Highlights That’ll Shine Like the Trask Diamond:
-
Key Character Appearances: Black Fox (Raul Chalmers) slinks in, all cunning and charm, proving he’s the sneakiest thief this side of a cat burglar convention. Spider-Man’s swinging and quipping, hot on the trail of that stolen gem. Mary Jane’s around, likely wondering why Peter’s chasing jewels instead of paying rent. And—surprise!—a mystery villain crashes the party (spoiler: it’s not who you expect, but it’s a doozy!).
-
Plot That’s a Real Steal: The Black Fox snags the Trask diamond, and Spidey’s on a mission to get it back—think high-stakes hide-and-seek with web-slinging. Just when you think it’s a wrap, a surprise baddie jumps in, turning this heist into a full-on brawl. It’s a one-shot gem with a twist!
-
Art That Sparkles: Erik Larsen’s pencils make Black Fox’s sly moves pop, Spidey’s acrobatics dazzle, and that surprise villain’s entrance hit like a sucker punch—pure ‘90s comic shine.
Current Value: A Deal J. Jonah Jameson Couldn’t Swipe
As of April 2025, ASM #349 is glittering at $10-$20 for VG/FN copies—think “well-read but not pilfered.” VF/NM grades fetch $25-$45, and a CGC 9.8 slabbed stunner can snag $80-$120, thanks to its standalone charm. (Values based on recent market buzz—no sticky-fingered guesses here!)
Expected Value: A Trend That’ll Climb Like Spidey Up a Jeweler’s Window
Black Fox is a quirky fan-favorite, and Erik Larsen’s art keeps gaining retro love. That surprise villain (no spoilers, but it’s a biggie!) adds sleeper hit potential. If that Ascendant or that 2026 Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel teases a classic rogue (fingers crossed!), expect a boost—NM copies could hit $50-$80 in a year, with slabs pushing $150-$200 if the hype sparkles. Long-term? A mint copy might shine at $200-$250 by 2030 if Spidey’s rogues stay hot.
Why This Comic’s Your Next Big Treasure, True Believer!
ASM #349 is Spider-Man playing jewel thief catcher—a slick heist tale with a villainous curveball that’ll keep you guessing. Whether you’re a Black Fox buff, a Larsen stan, or just here for Spidey’s diamond-dusted antics, this issue’s a steal. Grab it now before the price swings out of reach—or before Black Fox snags it for his collection!
