Spider-Man (1990) #3 – Torment Part 3 (Marvel Comics)
Spider-Man (1990) #3 (October 1990), written, penciled, and covered by Todd McFarlane with inks by Todd McFarlane and lettering by Rick Parker, is the third issue of Marvel’s iconic Spider-Man series, advancing the gripping “Torment” storyline. In “Torment: Part 3,” Spider-Man is defeated and at the mercy of the magically revived Lizard, who savors the moment before delivering a fatal blow, intent on prolonging Spidey’s suffering. As poison courses through his body, Spider-Man confronts his worst nightmare, pushing his resilience to the brink. Todd McFarlane’s masterful storytelling and groundbreaking art, with its dark, visceral tone and intricate webbing, intensify the psychological and physical stakes, solidifying his transformative impact on Spider-Man in the ‘90s.
Highlights
  • Climactic “Torment: Part 3” with Spider-Man facing defeat.
  • Lizard’s sadistic torment and poison-fueled nightmare.
  • Todd McFarlane’s stellar writing, art, and cover.
  • Dark, psychological depth defining ‘90s Spider-Man.
  • Pivotal issue in McFarlane’s legendary run.
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 see a slight premium due to scarcity, though less prominent than #1’s variants (e.g., Silver, Gold).
  • Trends: McFarlane’s enduring legacy, 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 focus. Comic-Con 2025 news or Spider-Man reprints could spike demand.
  • Market: Spider-Man (1990) issues from the “Torment” arc, with McFarlane’s iconic art, are collector staples for their ‘90s significance, with high-grade or slabbed copies in strong demand.
Key Characters
  • Spider-Man (Peter Parker): Hero enduring torment and poison.
  • Lizard (Curt Connors): Sadistic, magically enhanced predator.
