Is this the worst Venom...ever?

[Carl Elvis]

Just stumbled upon this online...good lord that's one terrible looking Venom!

 

 

[HarveySwick]

Really?! That was the original Venom before Larsen added the giant tongue.

 

I kind of liked it.

 

 

[Martin Sinescu]

Yeah, agreed. That seems like "normal" Venom to me. I hated the tongue.

This whole cover is ridiculous

Looks like they are all Puck'ed up

[awakeintheashes]

+1

 

It's a modern, but this is probably the worst Venom cover.

 

 

 

[ashsaytr]

wow that is awful!

[Kevin76]

still looks better without the tongue, looks better than mark bagley's venom.

[F For Fake]

Yeah, agreed. That seems like "normal" Venom to me. I hated the tongue.

 

Same. I dig the very basic early look, just a beefy blacksuited Spidey...with a mouth.

[Martin Sinescu]

This....

 

[Broke as a Joke]

Larsen ruined Venom and then Bagley took the same dumb look from there and ran with it.

 

I did like the Carnage design though.

Tongue or no . . . that is one fugly cover. I'll send my copy to anyone for $6 shipped . . .

[Mercury Man]

Not sure what this is supposed to be....

Looks like the old venom to me, nothing wrong with it. Like this figure from 91

That one is pre-ASM300.

This one isn't. Larsen was responsible for the horrible addition of the tongue and green slime. Bagley can be credited for dialing that back considerably (at least initially, the early covers of the Lethal Protector mini have minimal tongue and slime relative to Larsen's awful version).

It's interesting because the main reason we know it's Venom (of any design) and not Cosmic Spidey is that there are teeth.

Cosmic Spidey was Spider-Man with (partial) Captain Universe integration.
