Things take a dark turn as we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the House of Ideas with the era-spanning Marvel Tales! This anthology series shines a spotlight on fan-favorite characters, features timeless stories and highlights some of our most impressive talent from the past eight decades.
This time we’re focusing on the Ravencroft Asylum for the Criminally Insane – and some of its deadliest inmates! First, Spidey legends J.M. DeMatteis and Sal Buscema introduce Ravencroft founder Dr. Ashley Kafka in the psychological Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #178! The asylum’s most famous resident, Cletus “Carnage” Kasady, wreaks havoc in Spider-Man Unlimited (1993) #1 – the first chapter of the epic Maximum Carnage! And modern masters Dan Slott and Stuart Immonen take things to a whole new level of crazy in Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #798 – where Norman Osborn plus the Carnage symbiote equals… the Red Goblin!
