2008 marks The Spider's 75th Anniversary, and the celebration begins at the San Diego Comic-Con, July 26-29, 2007. The Spider -- pulp fiction's darkest avenger -- emerges from the shadows with the first all-new merchandise in over 60 years!

The Spider Ring FREE giveaway
The famed pulp premium has been revamped to celebrate The Spider: Robot Titans of Gotham, Baen Books' recently released trade paperback featuring a cover by the legendary Jim Steranko. The Spider Ring will be offered FREE at Bud Plant Comic Art, Booth #1500, just inside the entrance to Hall B.

The Spider ReelArt Statue
The prototype of ReelArt Studio's forthcoming resin statue has just been finalized and will be making it's debut at Comic-Con. The pulp-inspired piece has been beautifully designed and sculpted by William Paquet, and painted by Kat Sapene. All of ReelArt's creations can be found at Dark Horse Comics, Booth #2615.

The Spider at Moonstone
Following up on their fiction anthology The Spider Chronicles, Moonstone Books has plans to take The Spider into comics -- including a short story in Moonstone's holiday special and a "wide-vision" graphic novel! Drop by Booth #2042 to pick up the special limited edition of The Spider Chronicles and talk to president and Spider-author Joe Gentile about The Master of Men.
