Marvel Comics has announced it will publish the Spider-Man: Blue miniseries, by writer Jeph Loeb and the late artist Tim Sale, as a hardcover Gallery Edition in July 2023.
Spider-Man: Blue, one of several Spider-Man “color” series, is the story of how Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy fell in love, and of the many villains he had to battle along the way. Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale: Spider-Man Gallery Edition HC will present the story in the oversized Gallery Edition format with a main cover by Sale and a direct market-exclusive variant to be revealed later.
Sale died in June 2022 at the age of 66 (see “R.I.P. Tim Sale”).
“Tim Sale is no longer with us,” Loeb said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “But the legacy of his incredible talent will always be celebrated. I’m so touched and proud that Marvel has chosen Spider-Man: Blue as the first of our ‘color’ series in a gorgeous new oversized edition. It is a story about love and grief, something we all are experiencing without Tim. Please join us for this extraordinary collection of some of his finest work.”
