Spider-Man (1990) #2 – Torment Part 2 (Marvel Comics)
Spider-Man (1990) #2 (September 1990), written, penciled, and covered by Todd McFarlane with inks by Todd McFarlane and lettering by Rick Parker, is the second issue of Marvel’s groundbreaking Spider-Man series, continuing the “Torment” storyline. In “Torment: Part 2,” Spider-Man pursues the magically revived Lizard, who leaves a gruesome calling card at a murder scene, signaling his relentless killing spree in New York City. The chase leads to a bloody, brutal battle, but Spidey faces a dire challenge: the Lizard, impervious to pain and unstoppable, pushes him to his limits. Todd McFarlane’s dynamic storytelling and iconic art, with its dark, gritty tone and fluid webbing, amplify the intensity, cementing his superstar status and redefining Spider-Man for the ‘90s.

Value & Trends
-
Current: Raw NM copies sell for $5–$15 on eBay/MyComicShop, with VF copies at $3–$10 and CGC 9.8 copies fetching $40–$80. CGC 9.9 or 10.0 copies are rare, potentially reaching $150–$300. Newsstand editions may command a slight premium due to scarcity, though less than #1’s variants (e.g., Silver, Gold).
-
Trends: McFarlane’s lasting influence, Spider-Man 4 (2026) hype, and the Lizard’s potential MCU return (Spider-Man: No Way Home legacy) could drive 10–15% price hikes in 6–12 months. NM copies may hit $15–$30 in 2–3 years if “Torment” or McFarlane’s art gains renewed focus. Comic-Con 2025 news or Spider-Man reprints could spike demand.
-
Market: Spider-Man (1990) issues, especially McFarlane’s “Torment” arc, are collector favorites for their ‘90s significance and iconic art, with high-grade or slabbed copies in strong demand.
Key Characters
-
Spider-Man (Peter Parker): Hero chasing a savage killer.
