Todd McFarlane

Mezi mrakodrapy i skrz kanály, po celém New Yorku pronásleduje Spider-Man krvežíznivého maniaka, nebezpečnou bytost, která byla kdysi jeho přítelem. Jenže... na tom všem je něco hodně divné. Co pohání Lizarda a dělá z něj vraždící monstrum? Proč se Spideymu zjevují protivníci, kteří jsou už dávno mrtví... a v hlavě mu duní zvuk vzdálených bubnů? A především... dostane Spider-Man Lizarda dřív, než jeho samého dostihne šílenství a smrt? Komiks Utrpení ponořil Spider-Mana a s ním i čtenáře do temnoty. Je to děsivý, ponurý, strhující a akcí nadupaný příběh, který se stal základní součástí komiksové historie. Není také divu, právě jím totiž zahájil svou vlastní spider-manovskou sérii jeden z nejslavnějších komiksových malířů, legendární Todd McFarlane!
