This catalog follows the original cover’s composition across published comics and announced editions. Trade dress, virgin, foil and sketch treatments are described in edition notes. Connecting sets identify their participating issues and panels.
Verified records have source support for the exact cover and target. Partial records retain attribution or edition gaps. Reprints, interior-scene homages, different targets and unresolved references are listed separately below.

Marvel digital master includes a black barcode-area panel at lower left; the lower-resolution archival alternative has the same publisher panel. This has not been cropped away or reconstructed. Carnage confronts Spider-Man in the iconic grabbed-arm clash, framed by the At Last! The Spawn of Venom banner. April 1992 cover date; actual on-sale date February 13, 1992.
