Ron Zimmerman

Ron Zimmerman was a Hollywood television writer and satirist who wrote a handful of provocative Marvel books in the early 2000s. His MAX miniseries Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather reimagined Marvel's classic western hero as openly gay — a deliberately tongue-in-cheek satire, drawn by the legendary John Severin, that generated headlines well beyond comics. He also wrote Ultimate Adventures and several Spider-Man stories.

His Rawhide Kid work is gathered in collected editions of the character, while his Marvel Knights Spider-Man and related material sits within the omnibus and complete collections of that early-2000s line. Together they capture a brief, distinctly irreverent moment when a TV-comedy voice was let loose on Marvel's back catalogue.

Spider-Man's Tangled Web Omnibus

Collects the entire Tangled Web anthology (2001-2003), the series that handed Spider-Man to some of comics' strongest voices and let them look away from the hero. Garth Ennis and John McCrea's Rhino two-parter, Greg Rucka and Eduardo Risso's noir, and Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegredo's tales sit alongside work by Brian Azzarello, Darwyn Cooke and Paul Pope, all in one hardcover.

Zimmerman's output is niche and very much of its moment. Buy it for curiosity and completeness — the Severin-drawn Rawhide Kid in particular is a genuine oddity — rather than as a foundational run. For collectors of unusual, controversial Marvel, it is a worthwhile footnote.
