Paul Jenkins Reflects on Spectacular Spider-Man Poker Comic Inspired By Moneymaker

There’s no denying I’m a big comic book geek – I even wrote a poker-themed comic book called The World Series of Zombies (WSOZ) back in 2015. I was recently flipping through some comics at a flea market and came across a copy of The Spectacular Spider-Man #21, which was released back in January 2005.

The comic caught my eye thanks to the cover art by Studio F, which featured several playing cards in what appeared to be a game of poker. Given my love of comics and poker, I picked it up and was glad I did as it turned out to be an entire issue devoted to a single game of poker played between a bunch of super heroes and one villain.
